It looks as though Brandon Moss will get his milestone home run ball after all.
The Cleveland Indians outfielder hit his 100th career homer against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium on June 2, and it happened to land in the Tribe’s bullpen. And while you’d think it’d be easy for Moss to collect his souvenir that way, he wound up with a ransom note from the bullpen instead.

How’s a guy whose salary is $6.5 million supposed to buy all of those Apple products?
Luckily, he won’t have to because Apple CEO Tim Cook said Monday at Apple’s annual developers conference in San Francisco that he’s going to pay Moss’ debts. Cook even had the ball at the conference.
“Brandon would have had to raid an Apple Store to get that ball back,” Cook said, per Bloomberg Business. “That didn’t seem quite right to us. And, so, what we’re gonna do, is we’re gonna pay the ransom.”
It’s nice to know there still are generous people in the world.
