Watch: Votto dresses up as donkey to support Cozart's All-Star bid

Joey Votto has continued his quest to ensure his Cincinnati Reds teammate Zack Cozart will soon be an All Star - which would also make Cozart the proud owner of his very own donkey.

Votto even rocked a full donkey costume while Cozart was being interviewed by Fox Sports. For his part, Cozart wore a T-shirt that read, "Life is better with a donkey."

At last count, Cozart was still in the lead among shortstops for NL All-Star voting. Balloting ends Thursday with the initial rosters being announced on Sunday, July 2.
