Yankees Now 6–0 Since Adopting 'Bronxie the Turtle'

The Yankees do not have a mascot. But the 2021 team has adopted a team pet. Since the team's newest acquisition, New York has not lost a game.

Just over a week ago, the Yankees visited their local pet store and adopted a pet turtle that they affectionately refer to as "Bronxie the Turtle," per ESPN's Sam Borden.

The idea came from pitcher Nestor Cortés Jr. The southpaw led the charge in acquiring Bronxie, who freely roams around New York's locker room. He made his first road trip this past week when the Yankees played the Red Sox.
