Apple CEO Tim Cook to pay off ransom demands of Cleveland Indians’ bullpen
Apple may be sending the wrong message here: holding a baseball ransom does pay off.
You may recall that last week the Indians bullpen went public with its demands if it was going to return Brandon Moss’ home run ball. It was the 100th home run of his career (hit into the Indians bullpen at Kauffman Stadium), which is kind of a big deal.
Here’s the list:

Anyone watching #WWDC15? Yep, Brandon Moss and the 'pen have gone global -- and Apple is going to pay the ransom. pic.twitter.com/dS8dgxwVfn
