The Price Of Being A Morse Fan? $146.50
Being a Michael Morse fan can get expensive. Just ask one Nats fan whose All-Star voting for Morse led to a pricy surprise.
Barbara Eiden-Molinaro knew that Morse would need a lot of fan votes to make it to this year’s All-Star Game, so she did her part by voting for him via text message – 1,000 times.
What she didn’t know is that her cell phone plan didn’t include unlimited text messages.
“I was pretty shocked and mad at myself for not making sure of my plan before voting,” Barbara told us. “I figured that was going to be my birthday present.”

Nats have a rep for not having very many fans, and while they don't have as many as other teams, the ones they have are quite devoted.
Great story. And I'm posting it in multiple places in the hope it gets back to Mr. Morse so he knows how much the fans respect him. I actually follow her on twitter and like her stuff. I knew about the texting charge but didn't know Verizon had agreed to drop it. Nice to see a phone company do something positive for once.:)
