Matt Keough/Keogh was an All-Star pitcher for the Oakland A's and then bounced around the majors on the rosters of the Yankees, Cardinals, Cubs and Astros. He spent four years on the roster of the Hanshin Tigers in Japan. In 1992, after achieving a come-back with the A's, he was struck by a line-drive while sitting in the A's dugout and nearly killed. In 2005 he was involved and at-fault in a serious car accident. When he was finally located in a near-by store after the accident, his blood-alcohol level was
2.5 times the legal limit. The car accident (which put a bystander in the hospital) occurred right after the 'Real Housewives' debut episodes. He pleaded guilty to drunken driving and was sentenced to three months in jail. Matt has had other run-ins with the law because of his alcoholism including arrests in 2007 for parole-violations. One of the arrests came after he was binge-drinking for *days* in an OC hotel bar. The entire family on his side is very much a part of baseball history, with his father and uncle both having been major-leaguers.
