\n\u201cI never gave it to anybody. I would sometimes put it in their locker. I would sometimes start mentioning I\u2019m going to give a gold thong if you don\u2019t get out of this slump. Sometimes I would break it out because they didn\u2019t want to wear the gold thong. And most of the time it just ended up in their locker. And anybody who\u2019s worn it has gotten a hit. I just know first pitch, home run and the slump was over.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
