Brewers Manager's Tortoise Stunt Goes Viral

0:00It's April 4th, from the locker room to your ears. This is Milwaukee Brewer's news today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Brewer's manager Pat Murphy is added again with his pocket surprises. Last time it was pancakes during a dugout interview that win viral. This week, before a rained out game against the Royals in Kansas City, he pulled a live tortoise from his hoodie and named it Bobby Jr. after. Royal star Bobby with Jr. and his dad. The moment happened during a pre-game chat with Apple TV reporter Trisha Whitaker. Murphy said no pocket pancakes allowed, so out came the reptile he called a pocket turtle. Fans quickly jumped in online to correct him. It's actually a sulcata tortoise. That breed can live up to 70 years and grow as big as 100 pounds. Whitaker posted the clip, and it blew up fast, just like the pancake incident that even led to special concession items at Brewer's home games. Now the tortoise is chilling under a heat lamp in the visiting clubhouse at Kaufman Stadium.

1:01American Airlines won't let Whitaker fly at home because of their no reptiles rule, so the Brewer's are holding onto Bobby Jr. while they find him, a, permanent spot. One player joked it could be their rally tortoise if they win big, but for now, Murphy's quirky habits keep delivering laughs and keeping the team in. The spotlight.
