Cleveland Indians outfielder Brandon Moss hit his 100th home run in the major leagues yesterday against the Kansas City Royals. The ball representing his career milestone landed in his own team’s bullpen, but unfortunately for Moss, his teammates are holding the it ransom. And all they want is a few grand worth of Apple products.
After catching Moss’ home run, the bullpen’s pitchers scribbled down a ransom note, telling Moss “you get the ball when we get these items.” Take a look at their list of ransom items and try to find something not made by Apple:

Moss just needs to make a quick trip to and drop about $7,000 on couple of Jony Ive’s finest wares to get his ball back, but finding that 50 gallon drum of lube might take a little longer.

His own team did this? So much for camaraderie and team spirit.
Milestone balls can go for literally thousands upon thousands of dollars when caught by fans. A couple grand worth of Apple products to the Bullpen when he is getting paid 6.5 million just for the 2015 season alone is more good natured fun then you might think.
