Career

Besides a small yet intense following by a group of students from the University of Dayton, Shane is still trying to make a name for himself. 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 [ [http://www.baseballamerica.com/draftdb/2005xteam.php?team=OAK 2005 Oakland Athletics Draft] . Accessed 9 August 2006.] [ [http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/features/9911dfe.html Draft-and-follow rule] Accessed 9 August 2006.] pick. According to Jeana Keough, roughly 1000 people were picked before him and he subsequently attended Yavapai College [ [http://www2.yc.edu/content/athletics/baseball/roster/profiles/keough-shane-22.htm Shane Keough's Yavapai College player bio] . Accessed 9 August 2006.] 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 or the lowest level of minor league baseball. Keough played for the Vancouver Canadians Single A Short Season Baseball team as an outfielder in 2007.

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