Nothing makes me happier than seeing a Canadians player (past or present) getting their 15 minutes of fame. But in this case, I think it’s a little much. Read the following from the Kane County Cougars:
Quite a buzz was created last week when the Kane County Cougars were mentioned during a popular TV reality show.
"The Real Housewives of Orange County" is a reality program on the
Bravo network. The son of one of the housewives is Shane Keough, who
happens to play professionally in the Oakland system.Shane, who was drafted by the A’s in 2005, played for short-season Vancouver last summer. Since last week’s show aired, several interested fans have inquired
over the chances of Shane coming to Kane County this season.For now, there has been no official word of Shane coming to Elfstrom Stadium in 2008 — although it could certainly happen.
As is the case with all Major League teams and their respective farm
systems, Opening Day rosters throughout all levels of an organization
will not become official until mid-to-late March.Stay tuned to future issues for any late-breaking news on a potential Shane Keough sighting at Elfstrom Stadium in 2008…
OK, let me recap. We’re going to have to stay tuned to see if Shane Keough, the OF that hit .214 in 187 at-bats, sells tickets for one of the best selling franchises in Minor League Baseball? I thought Andy Seymour (for the C’s) was the man with the ‘wacky’ promotions? Since when is Kane County getting in on the action?
Wait, here’s the best part. Because, in the Real Housewives season finale, the Cougars were mentioned as Shane’s future team, on the Yahoo questions site, there are actually people fighting about why he isn’t on Kane County’s roster yet.
Now, I haven’t seen this particular episode (the new season hasn’t aired in Canada yet), but if the people on Yahoo are right, and Shane mentioned he plays for the Kane County Cougars, he may be getting way ahead of himself (when JD Pruitt is about to get written about on MLB.com, that tells you something). It’s not that we dislike Shane in any way (at all) because we know he’s a great guy, but perhaps he’s getting a little ahead of himself. What happens if you don’t make the Cougars? What happens if he goes to Stockton, or come back to Vancouver? A lot of disappointed fans, that’s what.
One more quick note. On his mother, Jeana Keough’s blog, fans are commenting about how they are so excited to see Shane next summer in Geneva, IL. One lady wrote that when Jeana visits Shane (in KC), dinner at a local Mexican Restaurant will be free. Another states that she can be a surrogate parent for Shane, making sure he doesn’t get into trouble. Hey, how about the one where a lady bought season tickets for her whole family, just to watch Shane play?
How I love the internet…

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackShane looks like he could use a attitude check!
Or a good A** Whooping after seeing how disrespectful he was to his mother during the most current showing of The Real OC. He sure did not act like a pro athlete, I hope he does not treat his fans that way! I don’t know what franchise would want a attitude like that representing them! Check youself kid your not all that!!
What a pompous, arrogant, disrespectful brat. Of course, he had a great role model. His mother would be well served to give him a swift kick in the a$$ for the way he speaks to her. If he talks to her like he does on TV I can only imagine how much worse it is when the cameras aren’t rolling. He has a lot of growing up to do.
This monkey named shane is shameful. How dare you treat the mamabear like that you little sniveling louse !!!!!!!!!
Shane is a jerk. How can this awful young man be a member of a baseball team and get away with this kind of behavior without making the team look bad. Why hasn’t the coach or management noticed this. He walked off the field and away from his fans, saying the “F” word to his Mom. I would like to think that someone will take care of this poor excuse for a human. He should not be representing any team until he can get his attitude fixed. Wow Shane, your a real mess……
Shane is the biggest LOSER and disrespectful JERK I have ever seen. He doesn’t even deserve to be part of such an American FAMILY game. How can such a JERK be part of something that mentors to our children. What kind of ROLE MODEL is to anyone?? He should be slapped by every women out there. YOU ARE A JERK SHANE !!! If you were my child…you would have a hand print across your face. The last thing that should EVER happen to you is that you get anywhere in OUR PROUD world of sports. You arragant POMPUS ASS
Jeanna ruined Shane’s life by never ever disclinplining him or teaching him class. He has a tough life ahead of him to be quite frank as he is a very mixed up young man. He shows no respect, no class and no control. so what if he is in baseball which requires skill yes, but not thinking skills. I would imagine someone like Shane will be in the news in the future for some domestic dispute altercation or a drunk driving incident. It is really sad that his mother is so clueless and that his father was tragically injured and is so removed from real life.
