Tim Cook Says Apple Will Pay Apple-Based Ransom For Brandon Moss’ 100th Home Run Ball

Last Tuesday, the Cleveland Indians’ Brandon Moss hit his 100th career home run.

The 100th home run ball itself would have surely been a nice keepsake for Moss but unfortunately for Moss, the team’s pitchers in the bullpen snagged the ball and, well, they weren’t prepared to give it to Moss unless certain Apple-based demands were met.

Now, a week later, Apple CEO Tim Cook has heard the bullpen’s conditions and has agreed to supply the Indians’ pen with their desired Apple products.

Not a bad deal for everyone involved. Apple is getting a little more brand recognition, the Indians bullpen will receive some pretty nice Apple swag and poor Brandon Moss will finally unite with his long-last milestone home run ball.
