Summary
Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy gifted MLB reporter Tricia Whitaker a “turtle” that turned out to be a Sulcata tortoise, a lifelong commitment to an animal that can weigh up to 200 pounds and live up to 80 years in captivity. The tortoise, named “Bobby,” was given to Whitaker as a joke after a viral interview last season. Whitaker left Bobby with the Brewers in Kansas City due to American Airlines’ no reptiles policy and the team is taking care of him for now.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name. Pat Murphy thought he was gifting Tricia Whitaker a harmless turtle, but it turned out to be a Sulcata tortoise. The tortoise, Bobby, is now a part of the Brewers’ clubhouse and Whitaker is committed to caring for him. The joke’s on her, but the real question is, who’s going to take care of Bobby when he reaches 200 pounds? The Brewers’ clubhouse or Tricia Whitaker’s future back problems?
