Cleveland Indians bullpen holds Moss' home run for ransom

By Alex Butler

CLEVELAND, June 3 (UPI) -- Fans aren't the only crowd asking for a fortune after catching milestone home run balls.

After Brandon Moss smashed his 100th career home run in the Cleveland Indians' 2-1 win against the Kansas City Royals Tuesday, some Indians pitchers had requests.

The fourth inning moonshot landed in the Indians bullpen.

"I saw they caught the ball, but they said, "No, no, no,'" Moss told Cleveland.com. "Then I see the list and I said, "I think I can do none of this. This is like $10 grand worth of stuff. I would have rather a fan caught the ball."

After the game, the Indians pitchers had some very specific requests, including an Apple iPhone, four iPads, three MacBook Air computers, three Apple watches and $5,000 cash.

The Indians posted the requests to its official Twitter account.

Moss, who leads the Indians with nine home runs, got the ball back after giving away some game-used batting gloves and some autographs, according to Cleveland.com.
