Here’s
a “Missing in Action” card for former Kansas City Royals outfielder Joe
Keough, uncle of future Oakland A’s pitcher Matt Keough:
Keough appeared in 56 games for KC, batting .219 with 14 hits over 64 official at-bats while driving in five and scoring eight.
That would be the last substantial action he’d see in the Majors during
his 6-year career as he would play in only five more games, all in 1975
with the Chicago White Sox, after playing for Oakland in 1968 and the
Royals between 1969 and 1972.
For his career he hit .246 with 212 lifetime hits over 863 at-bats in
332 games while playing most of his games in the outfield along with
some scattered games at first base.
