SAN DIEGO — Royals first baseman, Eric Hosmer, made his first All-Star appearance on Tuesday and had quite the performance, but it’s what happened after the game that has Royals fans all over proud of the 26-year-old.

With a home run in the second-inning off former Royal Johnny Cueto and an RBI in the third-inning, it was no surprise that Hosmer was named the 2016 All-Star MVP.

As part of his MVP honor, Hosmer was given a new Chevy, which he said he planned to give to his dad, Mike, who is a retired firefighter.

“So he can stop stealing all my cars,” Eric Hosmer said during the postgame news conference.

Hosmer said the two selected a midnight black edition of the Chevy Colorado truck over a 50th anniversary Camaro.

Hosmer and catcher Salvador Perez will head to Los Angeles for the ESPYS that take place Wednesday night.

Hosmer was the first Royals player to hit a home run in an All-Star game since Bo Jackson in 1989.

The American League went on to defeat the National League 4 to 2.
