Magic gold thong
« on: May 17, 2008, 05:17:06 pm »
You'd think this was non-bb..

Quote
The New York Yankees' first baseman caused a bit of a stir Saturday when the Daily News reported -- on the front page, no less -- that he often wears a gold thong under his uniform pants when trying to snap out of a slump.
Quote
Several teammates acknowledged they've tried wearing it, too, including Yankees captain Derek Jeter and outfielder Johnny Damon.

If I know baseball players and superstitions, I suspect it's never been washed.  Poor Jeter.  Poor, poor Damon.

When I first read this on a different site, I was SURE it was some kind of joke. Now I'm just wishing it was.

Hitters are a strange breed. There is a classic story from the minor leagues about a guy in a slump who was told to put Atomic Balm on his onions to break out and did. I wouldn't have done that. That's why I was a pitcher.

Staph schmaff. Hitters make Faustian bargains all the time, particularly when it comes to their careers.

Our pitching staff could use a magic, groin-protecting thong.
