Brewers' Manager Murphy Trades Pancakes for Tortoise in TV Slip

The incident followed Murphy’s earlier viral moment in August when he was caught eating a pancake from his hoodie pocket during a dugout interview. The Brewers capitalized on the buzz by selling “Murph’s Pocket Pancakes” at home games.

When the game against the Royals was rained out, Murphy used the pre‑game interview to introduce a Sulcata tortoise, jokingly named “Bobby Jr.” The animal was kept in the visiting clubhouse, as airline policy prevented it from traveling, and the team plans to find it a permanent home.
