Last week, Brandon Moss‘ 100th career home run became national news. Unfortunately, it wasn’t for the feat itself, but rather for its aftermath.
To refresh your memories, Moss’ 100th career home run, which he hit in Kansas City, landed in the Indians bullpen. Because they’re such nice guys and knew an opportunity when they saw it, the Indians entire bullpen decided to hand on to the ball for safe keeping. Unfortunately for Moss, safe keeping meant holding the ball hostage and presenting him with a lengthy list of demands as ransom. If the ransom was paid, Moss would in turn receive the memento from his career milestone.
