During his opening remarks at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, Apple CEO Tim Cook told the story of how the Cleveland Indians are huge Apple fans.
It turns out that after Cleveland Indians first baseman Brandon Moss managed to hit his 100th home run, the ball ended up landing directly in the Cleveland Indians bullpen - leading the team to create a ransom note comprising a list of demands to be fulfilled before they returned the home run ball.
Cook proudly pointed out that a majority of the demands were Apple devices including iPads, an iPhone 6, Apple Watches, and MacBook Airs. A photo of the ransom note was shown to the audience, but The Verge points out that Twitter user Andrew Martin discovered Apple ended up Photoshopping out one item from the list - a "50 gallon drum of lube."

The list of demands originally included a request from Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Marc Rzepczynski - nicknamed "Zep" - for an "Apple Watch / 50 gallon drum of lube," but Apple edited the image so you could only see the request for the Apple Watch.
