NAMES & FACES

Zack Cozart

The Cincinnati Reds’ shortstop had an agreement with teammate Joey Votto, who had promised him a donkey as a reward if Cozart made the National League All-Star team. Having earned the honor for the first time, Cozart is looking forward to the four-hooved fella’s arrival. Turns out, Votto even has a donkey connection — a mule mule, so to speak. “Now that it’s confirmed that he made the team, I’m going to have to give him a ring,” Votto said. “He doesn’t have a phone. He only uses a pager. He’s kind of in that black-market business.” Cozart said he’s hoping to bring the mule to his offseason home in Brentwood, Tenn. “That’s the cool thing where I live: Even right next door, there’s land,” Cozart said. “I could easily find some land within five minutes of my house right now.”

Kato Kaelin

The Milwaukee native, famous for being a witness in O.J. Simpson’s murder trial in the 1990s, won the Milwaukee Brewers’ 50/50 raffle on Monday along with two relatives and a friend, splitting $12,411 before taxes. Kaelin, who said he was home for the July Fourth holiday, said his brother, Bob, bought the tickets for the group. Kaelin said his brother held the tickets when the group realized they were the winners. “He started shaking and dropped his beer, which you don’t do in Milwaukee,” Kaelin said. The Brewers Community Foundation, an organization that supports more than 200 local nonprofits in the areas of health, education, recreation and basic needs, also received $12,411 from the raffle, which is held every game.
