Shane Keough Bio

Shane Keough (born September 11, 1986) is 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 attends University of California at Berkeley and also acts and models, and one younger brother Colton.

Shane is still trying to make a name for himself. Scouts score Keough as a having poor hitting skills with little to no power but with some speed in the outfield. Keough entered the Major League Baseball Draft in 2005 and was drafted by the Oakland A's in the 36th round as a draft-and-follow pick. Keough attended Yavapai College in Arizona to gain more playing time and hopefully attract more attention from the scouts. He was signed by the A's in June, 2006. In the fall of 2006, he played outfield for the Phoenix Athletics in the Arizona League, which is classified as a rookie league. Keough played for the Vancouver Canadians single A Short Season Baseball team as an outfielder in 2007 and played for the single A Kane County Cougars in 2008. It appears as if he may have taken performance enhancement drugs prior to the last baseball season.

Besides Shane's father, his grandfather Marty and great-uncle Joe have both played in the major leagues.

Real Housewives... in Kane County

There's a good chance that Elfstrom Stadium and the Kane County Cougars will be included in this evening's episode of a popular reality television show on the Bravo network.

Last season, the son of one of the featured women of "The Real Housewives of Orange County", Jeana Keough was Cougars outfielder Shane Keough. Shane, who is occasionally included on the television series, played the entire '08 season at Kane County as an outfielder in the Oakland A's farm system.

During a game last August, Jeana and the Housewives crew visited Geneva and attended a Cougars game at Elfstrom Stadium.

The closing footage from last week's episode hinted strongly towards the possibility of tonight's new episode including footage taken from the Housewives' visit last summer.

The show airs tonight at 9 p.m. CDT on the Bravo network and is typically re-aired at various times throughout the week. Interested fans can visit www.bravotv.com for complete program listings or also visit www.kccougars.com.
