Soon after the knock, which ended an 0-for-23 drought by Reds players in the All-Star Game dating back to a hit by Scott Rolen in the 2010 mid-summer festival, Fox dropped this one:

Reds teammate Joey Votto, who struck out in a pinch-hitting appearance later in the game, tracked down the ball that Cozart bopped into left field and gave it to his friend.
Voted by fans to the the National League's starting shortstop, Cozart made a family vacation out of his trip to Miami, telling reporters, "I've been a Red since I was drafted in '07 and came up in '11. All I know is Reds. So for them to do as much as they did to help me get where I'm at, I want to represent that crowd."
Love our All-Star!!!! pic.twitter.com/fhl7DGOufr

Judging from all the scenes of him smiling, even when fielding an endless stream of questions about the donkey that Joey Votto is buying him as a reward for being voted into his first All-Star Game, Cozart had a great time.
