1962 Topps #258 Marty Keough
About Marty Keough
The Reds got Keough on December 15, 1961, sending catcher Bob Schmidt and pitcher Dave Stenhouse to Washington for him and pitcher Johnny Klippstein; Cincinnati wanted a left-handed bat that could run and throw. He gave them his best season: a career-high .278 with seven homers and 27 RBIs in 230 at-bats across 111 games for manager Fred Hutchinson, filling in for injured center fielder Vada Pinson and alternating with Gordy Coleman at first base. His pinch-hit homer in the ninth beat the Mets on July 22, and a two-run inside-the-park drive on August 21 produced all the scoring in a 2-0 win over the Cubs. Card #258 is a third-series number and his first Topps card as a Red.
Richard Martin Keough, born April 14, 1934 in Oakland, California, was a three-sport star at Pomona High School, taking California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section football player of the year honors in 1951 and sharing the section's baseball player of the year award before the Boston Red Sox signed him for a $100,000 bonus in 1952. He turned into a fast, sure-handed outfielder in the Red Sox farm system, twice leading the American Association in triples for Louisville, and reached the majors on April 21, 1956. Outfield duty behind Ted Williams, Jim Piersall, and Jackie Jensen kept his at-bats scarce in Boston, and a June 1960 trade sent him to Cleveland. Washington took him in the December 1960 expansion draft, and a year later he went to Cincinnati, where he spent four seasons as an outfielder and first baseman. He finished in 1966 with Atlanta and the Cubs, played 1967 in the Pacific Coast League and 1968 in Japan, then scouted for the Padres, Dodgers, and St. Louis Cardinals. A left-handed hitter and thrower, he batted .242 with 434 hits, 43 home runs, and 176 RBIs in 841 games over eleven seasons. He is the father of pitcher Matt Keough and the older brother of outfielder Joe Keough.
