Last week, Brandon Moss hit his 100th home run into the Indians bullpen and his teammates held the ball for ransom, writing up a thorough list of demands that included a bevy of Apple products ... and a 50-gallon drum of lube. On Monday, during the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple CEO Tim Cook said he would be picking up the tab for the release of the ball. There was some subtle alteration of the ransom note, however:
Indians bullpen will have their ‘ransom’ paid by Apple … except for the lube
Hopefully the Indians stand firm on their lube demand.

— Andrew Martin (@andrewcmartin) June 8, 2015 HMMMMM. Way to go, Apple. You have released the ball, but created a LUBE CONSPIRACY. HOW HIGH UP DOES THIS GO? The lube, we mean. Asking for a friend.
