Indians' starters holding ball from Lindor's 1st career hit hostage
The Cleveland Indians are creating a sequel; only this time, it stars the team's starting pitching staff.
In early June, the Indians' bullpen held Brandon Moss's 100th home run ball hostage, demanding Apple products and cash.
Funnily enough, Apple CEO Tim Cook paid the ransom.
The Indians are up to their old tricks again, as Brett Smiley of FOX Sports reports that the team's starters are in possession of the ball from rookie Francisco Lindor's first career hit, and have a list of demands.

It looks like the starters aren't going back to the same well, as they're targeting Samsung products on this pass, although Shaun Marcum seems pretty concerned with security.
Lindor recorded the hit on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers and had a bit of a slip-up rounding first base.
