The key to turning the Yankees season around could be under Jason Giambi's pinstriped pants.
The Yankee slugger revealed Friday he slips on a gold lamé thong with a flame-line waistband when he's trying to get out of a hitting slump - and he's shared it with his teammates.
"It works every time," Giambi told the Daily News after his secret was outed on Portfolio.com.
Derek Jeter agreed that Giambi's thong works, although "it's so uncomfortable running around the bases."
"I had it over my shorts and stuff," he said. "I was 0-for-32 and I hit a homer on the first pitch. That's the only time I've ever worn it."
Johnny Damon also admitted donning the golden panties "probably three times."
"I may need to wear it again soon," said Damon, who is batting a mediocre .255.
What is the secret of Giambi's golden thong?
"You're not worrying about your hands or your balance at the plate," Damon said. "You're worried about the uncomfortable feeling you're receiving."
In the earlier interview with Portfolio.com, Giambi claimed he also hung his thong in the lockers of teammates Bernie Williams, Robin Ventura and Robinson Cano when they had trouble generating runs.
"I only put it on when I'm desperate to get out of a big slump," Giambi said.
The News showed its support for the sagging Yankees by delivering 26 golden thongs to the clubhouse - one for every player on the team and manager Joe Girardi.
Damon accepted his with a smile, saying, "I will definitely wear it if I can."

For everything confessed in public about the Yankees, there must be a thousand things that are unspeakable about the Sox.
LOL. Oh man, this is too good!!!
A man can’t wear wont of those things!
Sure, sure there is....... BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
“You’ve got to come and ask for it,” he said. “That’s the way it works.”
I bet you Jeter, A-fraud, and Posada “ask” for it often don’t they juice boy?
I still remember the catchers plucked eyebrows in that one recent World Series so I can believe it.
The Yankees seem to have a serious TRANNY fixiation going on.
Can't wait for the pictures.... actually I can now that I think about it.
But hey, what do you expect from a team where the stars ex foliate their skin and spend their off-time in day spas with other metrosexuals.
