Who’s tweeting #VoteMoose? The Chiefs, Sporting KC, the police and a whole lot of fans
Within an hour, the hashtag #VoteMoose was trending nationally. Not in the Kansas City, but across the country.
Fans using that hashtag on Twitter from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday were casting a vote for Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas in the Final Vote competition to determine the last roster spot for the American League team in the All-Star Game.
It didn’t take long for #VoteMoose to dominate the timelines of many people.
Moustakas was leading on Wednesday afternoon in the Final Vote, and there was a big push to get people to vote on Twitter. This came from other sports teams, athletes, Kansas City museums and the police. Take a look:

Naturally, Royals fans also made sure to vote. And rather than just use that #VoteMoose hashtag, some people got very creative.
Here are just some of those tweets:
