Major League Baseball has nominated The Winston-Salem Hype Hens for the best MiLB Alternate Identity of 2024 — and there’s still time to vote.

Fans can vote online now through Monday, Sept. 23.

While we don’t want to have too much hen-fluence on how you vote, here’s a quick reminder of how the Hype Hens scored their nomination:

Earlier this year, Truist Stadium hosted a special night out on the town for Winston-Salem’s chickens, dubbed the “Fowl Ball.”

Seeing how the community got such a kick out of the event, The Dash partnered with Carolina Coops to build a chicken coop in the Kids Zone to permanently house seven chickens.

These “hype hens” encouraged fans to shake their tail feathers at all home games — and the rest is history.

Winners will be announced on Monday, Sept. 30 during the MiLB Awards Show on MLB Network. Vote now through Sept. 23.
