Brewers’ Pat Murphy Shifts from Pocket Pancakes to Pocket Tortoise

During a pre‑game interview on Apple TV, Brewers manager Pat Murphy was informed “no pocket pancakes.” In response, he handed reporter Tricia Whitaker a Sulcata tortoise he named Bobby Jr., a move that quickly went viral on social media.

The reptile, which cannot travel on American Airlines due to a strict no‑reptile policy, is now kept in the visiting clubhouse at Kauffman Stadium. Rumor has it the club will keep the tortoise if they win the game, while fans hope it will be returned if the Brewers lose.
