The Majestic Jersey Company held a contest on Tuesday to see which fanbase is the most prominent on social media.

The fans are rated by the number of times they vote for their respected team by using #JerseyDay on Twitter and Instagram.

Currently, the Cubs are in the lead with over 31,000 votes, but the Los Angeles Angels are catching up fast.

The voting ends on May 29.

If this trend continues, this means the Cubs fans are truly the best in the MLB.
