Brewers inherit ‘rally tortoise’ after manager Pat Murphy told no pocket pancakes in TV interview
First, the Milwaukee Brewers had “pocket pancakes. ” Now, they have pocket turtles. Ahem, tortoise.
This all probably needs an explanation.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — First, the Milwaukee Brewers had “pocket pancakes. ” Now, they have pocket turtles.
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 Nationals.
It wasn’t necessarily new for Murphy, who’s been known to have everything from waffles to eggs 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 American Family Field.
