KANSAS CITY, Mo. — First the Milwaukee Brewers had “pocket pancakes.” Now they have a pocket turtle.
Ahem, tortoise.
This all probably needs an explanation.
During a game last August, Brewers manager Pat Murphy was caught taking a pancake from the pocket of his hoodie for a midgame bite, right in the middle of a dugout interview during a game against the Washington Nationals. It wasn’t necessarily new for Murphy, who’s been known to have everything from waffles to egg rolls close at hand should he get the munchies.
But given the game was nationally televised, the moment immediately went viral. And the Brewers even latched onto the momentum, introducing “Murph’s Pocket Pancakes” as concession items for Sunday home games at Milwaukee’s American Family Field.
