You’ve got to read this. The New York Daily News is definitely against it’s home team the Yankees for printing a story like this.

Man, I have never read anything like this. I guess the secret to the Yankee’s "winning" ways is that it’s star players share wearing a golden thong. Who would have guessed?

The secret is now out. The Yankee’s have built their dynasty upon the helpings of a Golden Thong.

In Game 6 of the ’77 series, Reggie Jackson hit three homeruns. How did he do it? The Magical Golden Thong.

Maris hit 61 in 61… McGwire and Bonds said he used the Thong. Since they didn’t have it in their possession, they used the ‘roids.

Don Larsen’s perfect game? The Brooklyn Dodgers blame the Thong!

Ever wonder why the call the Babe… the Babe? The Thong man… the thong!

Anyway, if the Yankee’s actually do turn it around, I am sure the "Magical Golden Thong" will go down as one of those significant superstitions of Yankee fandom. Who knows, if they turn it around, maybe it will show up in the Hall of Fame someday.

*shutters*

Anyway, I was wondering, besides the goat, has any other Cub players throughout history had any wild superstitions? I seem to remember Turk Wendell used to jump over the white baselines, brush his teeth between innings, and chew black licorice.

Does anybody remember any of these superstitions? Does any of the Cub players today have any? Thanks!

PS. I hope Lou isn’t wearing one of those thongs right now. You never know what kind of habits one picks up from being a Yankee.
