Timeline

1916

His winning percentage of .105 was the worst recorded by a major league pitcher with 15 or more decisions since 1916, when Philadelphia A's teammates Jack Nabors and Tom Sheehan finished the season with winning percentages of .048 and .059, respectively.

1955

Matthew Lon Keough (July 3, 1955 – May 1, 2020) was an American professional baseball player.

1973

Keough graduated from Corona del Mar High School in Newport Beach, California, in 1973.

The Oakland Athletics selected Keough in seventh round of the 1973 Major League Baseball draft.

Keough was signed by Oakland as an infielder.

1975

He was supposed to replace departed Sal Bando at third base, but after leading the California league in hitting while playing for Modesto in his second year of professional baseball in 1975, he hit a disappointing .210 in Double-A in 1976.

He was converted to a pitcher and joined Oakland a year later.

1977

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a right-handed pitcher from 1977 through 1986 for the Oakland Athletics (1977–1983), New York Yankees (1983–1984), St. Louis Cardinals (1985), Chicago Cubs (1986) and Houston Astros (1986).

1978

He was selected to the All-Star Game in his rookie season for the 1978 Athletics, recording a 3.24 ERA despite his 8–15 mark.

From 1978 to 1979, Keough made 28 consecutive starts without a victory, tying Cliff Curtis (1910–11) for the longest streak in MLB history according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

1979

In 1979, he tied a major league record by losing his first 14 decisions and finished with a 2–17 record.

1980

But Keough resurged in 1980 with a 16–13 mark, earning AL Comeback Player of the Year honors.

Keough was married to actress and November 1980 Playboy Playmate of the month, Jeana Tomasino in 1984.

1981

In the 1981 strike-shortened season he finished 10–6, helping Oakland to clinch the AL Division Series.

He pitched well in a losing effort in Game Three of the AL Championship Series, giving up one earned run in 8 1⁄3 innings in a game won by the New York Yankees 4–0.

A number of baseball historians and statisticians have put this down to manager Billy Martin overworking Keough and the other members of the 1981 rotation.

1982

Keough slumped again in 1982, tying for the AL lead with 18 losses against 11 wins in 34 starts.

He also walked more batters than he struck out (101-to-75) and led the league in home runs (38) and earned runs (133) allowed.

1983

In the 1983 mid-season, the Athletics traded Keough to the New York Yankees for Marshall Brant and Ben Callahan.

1985

Nursing a sore arm, he spent parts of two seasons in the minors and returned to the majors with the St. Louis Cardinals late in 1985.

The next year, he divided his playing time between Triple-A, the Houston Astros and Chicago Cubs.

1987

After his time in MLB, Keough pitched in Nippon Professional Baseball for the Hanshin Tigers for 4 seasons from 1987 through 1990.

Keough batted and threw right-handed.

In 1987 he joined the Hanshin Tigers of Nippon Professional Baseball and pitched for them until 1990.

1990

They unofficially separated in the 1990s, legally separated in 2004, and divorced in 2019.

The two appeared on reality television on The Real Housewives of Orange County.

The couple had three children: Shane, Kara and Colton.

1991

He attempted a comeback to the major leagues with the California Angels in 1991 spring training but did not make the roster.

1992

In March 1992, he tried again with the Angels and had made the major league roster, but while sitting in the dugout during an exhibition game in which he was later scheduled to pitch, he was hit in the right temple by a foul ball off the bat of San Francisco Giants' John Patterson, seriously injuring him and ending his playing career.

Following his playing career, Keough worked for the A's and Angels both as a roving pitching coach and as an executive from 1992 to 1999.

After that, he scouted for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and was again an executive for the Oakland Athletics.

Keough would occasionally throw a spitball.

One time, however, his spitball backfired on him.

Keough threw a spitball that Boston Red Sox second baseman Jerry Remy missed completely and had seemingly struck out.

The umpire, seeing the tremendous break on the pitch, assumed Remy had fouled off the pitch and so he remained at bat with two strikes.

On the next pitch, Remy hit a home run, the last of his career.

In a nine-season career, Keough posted a 58–84 record with 590 strikeouts and a 4.17 ERA in 1190 innings pitched, including seven shutouts and 57 complete games.

Keough was the son of Marty Keough and the nephew of Joe Keough, both of whom also played in the majors.

2006

In 2006, Rob Neyer estimated that Keough threw 131 pitches per complete game in 1981, a heavy workload for a young pitcher even then.

2008

The streak was later tied by Jo-Jo Reyes (2008–11).
