Apple's CEO Tim Cook offers to pay ransom for Brandon Moss' home run ball
Apple's CEO offers to pay ransom for Moss' HR ball
When Brandon Moss hit his 100th career Major League home run on Tuesday night, his teammates behaved just as any good friends would: No, they didn't congratulate him and give him a cake (what kind of friends do you have?), instead the pitchers in the bullpen grabbed the ball and wouldn't release it without receiving a hefty ransom.
It was a request that was largely stuffed with Apple products:

At Monday's Worldwide Developer's Conference, Cook announced that he would pay for the safe return of the baseball.
Anyone watching #WWDC15? Yep, Brandon Moss and the 'pen have gone global -- and Apple is going to pay the ransom. pic.twitter.com/dS8dgxwVfn
