1964 Topps #166 Marty Keough
About Marty Keough
Keough bounced back in 1964 with his heaviest workload as a Red: 109 games, 276 at-bats, 71 hits, a .257 average, and 28 runs batted in. His nine home runs tied the career high he had set three years earlier. He won two June games outright, the first with a pinch single on June 9 and the second with an 11th-inning homer off Gaylord Perry on June 23. Card #166 falls in the second series and catches him in the middle of his four-year Cincinnati stretch.
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.
