Beloved St. Louis Cardinals mascot Fredbird is among the nominees for enshrinement into the Mascot Hall of Fame.

Fredbird, who has performed at 3,600-plus regular-season games, has been part of three Cardinals World Series championships. He also co-hosts a television show, “Cardinals Kids.”

Fans can vote for Fredbird and the 27 other nominees daily through May 24 at mascothalloffame.com. An announcement of the inductees will be made in June.

The Mascot Hall of Fame was located in northwest Indiana until its closure last year. It is still seeking a new home.

The hall of fame was founded in 2005 by David Raymond, the original Phillie Phanatic. Since its founding, 33 professional and collegiate team mascots have been enshrined into the Mascot Hall of Fame.
