June 8, 2015Remember Brandon Moss’ 100th home run? Remember the iHeavy bull-penned ransom note that went viral? Well Apple Inc. caught wind of all of the MacBooks and iPads and Apple Watches and has decided to help the Tribe slugger get what’s rightfully his.
Apple CEO Tim Cook announced Monday his company will deliver Apple products to members of the Cleveland Indians in exchange for a home run ball hit by Moss.

Cook apparently agreed to all of the players’ demands but one: left-handed pitcher Marc Rzepczynski’s request for a “50 gallon drum of lube.” The request was digitally removed from the note before it appeared on a giant screen behind Cook at Apple’s Worldwide Developers’ Conference, or #WWDC15 for the hashtag inclined.
Anyone watching #WWDC15?
Yep, Brandon Moss and the 'pen have gone global — and Apple is going to pay the ransom. pic.twitter.com/dS8dgxwVfn

No word on whether or not Cook opted for the iPad over the $5,000 for catcher Ricky Pacione. Safe to assume that Zach McAllister wishes he asked for more than an iPhone 6. Maybe they tossed him a Plus out of sympathy.

I hate, with a passion, all sentiments of class warfare as well as notions of “1%,” “99%,” “middle class,” “working class,” “blue collar vs. white collar,” etc, etc. Still, there’s something mildly unsavory about this.
Why? Cause they digitally removed the lube?
That must be it.
Don’t touch the lube.
You should be careful using “lube” and “digitally” in the same sentence.
So, if anybody is in the dark about Scrabble’s reference to a particular Amazon product page, I highly recommend you check it out and read the customer reviews:

Celebrities getting free stuff? What else is new?
The Cleveland Indians are considered celebrities. It wasn’t too long ago that a certain documentary demonstrated that high society people did not even realize that we still had a team with uniforms and everything.
Huh, never heard of it. Must have been some little art house flick.
Jake Taylor would have been happy if someone bought him a beer, let alone some fancy aerodynamic white future box machine.
Busted knees Jake Taylor, huh? Wish we had him 2 years ago.
