This is probably too much information, but NY Yankee Jason Giambi says that when he's in a hitting slump, he can immediately start to hit by wearing a thong! He says he wore one today as he homered, in a losing cause, against the Mets. The theory is that the thong is so uncomfortable that Giambi is forced to focus (or something) so he can hit the ball. Johnny Damon, on the right, is also a believer!
I should note that the Yankeees are in last place in the American League East. The NY Daily News donated 26 thongs to the Yanks. This includes one for Manager Joe Girardi. They still lost. With their payroll (and talent) they should be embarassed. Instead, they are making fools of themselves.
Joe McCarthy is turning over in his grave!
