Shane Keough

Shane Keough was a minor league outfielder in the Oakland Athletics farm system. Keough appeared in the Bravo reality show The Real Housewives of Orange County, in which his mother, Jeana Keough, was one of the featured "housewives." Keough is the oldest child of Matt Keough, a former pitcher for the Oakland A's and current executive with the team and Jeana Keough, a former model, actress and Playboy Playmate who is now a realtor for RE/MAX in Coto de Caza, California. He has a younger sister Kara, who attended the University of California at Berkeley for one semester and also acts and... models, and a younger brother, Colton. Keough drew criticism by telling his mom "you're lucky I didn't throw a bat at you" when she traveled 2,000 miles to watch him play in the Chicago area and walked onto the field following the game for fan appreciation day. His mother later apologized for her son, adding that Shane was unhappy with the "editing process." Keough was drafted in the 36th round of the 2005 Major League Baseball Draft by the Oakland A's as a draft-and-follow pick. Keough attended Yavapai College in Arizona to gain more playing time.
