Derek Jeter says he was slumping so terribly back in the 2004 season -- he turned to a golden thong to get him out of his rut ... seriously.
Jeter was forced to pick one of two topics, and his two cohosts had to guess if he was telling the truth or not.Both Fallon and Ora thought it was a fib -- but the ex-NY shortstop said it was, in fact, a real tale.
Jeter explained ... back in 2002, he got a new teammate who swore up and down that wearing a golden thong would get him out of any slump. Jeter initially thought it was a load of B.S. -- but at the start of the '04 season, he hit an offensive rut that he had never seen before. "Every day I'd walk in, [my teammate] would point at the thong," Jeter said."So, finally, I wore the thong."
