Brewers' Manager Murph Swaps Pocket Pancakes for Tortoise

Brewers manager Pat Murphy was caught taking a pocket pancake during a dugout interview last year, sparking a viral moment and leading the club to sell “Murph’s Pocket Pancakes.” Now, in a pre‑game Apple TV interview, he was warned “no pocket pancakes,” so he presented a Sulcata tortoise named Bobby Jr. to reporter Tricia Whitaker.

Whitaker posted the clip, and because American Airlines forbids reptiles, Bobby Jr. will stay in Kansas City while the Brewers search for a permanent home. The club plans to keep the tortoise for the moment, with a potential win‑or‑loss bet on its future.
