From the Seattleipi -
(While we certainly don't approve of Mr. Keough driving under the influence he seems to have changed since his accident. Those who have known him for a long time say he became a completely different person after his injury.)
In 1992, Keough was nearly killed when he was hit in the head by a line drive while sitting in the dugout during an Anaheim Angels exhibition game at spring training in Arizona.
"We're convinced that this (drinking) is related to the brain injury that he suffered," Keough's attorney, Dan Grigsby, said Friday. "I've known him since high school and he hasn't been the same since.
"We're looking to get him the help he needs. We don't think him being in jail serves any purpose."
Keough pitched for the Athletics from 1977-83, making the 1978 All-Star team. He later played with the Yankees, Cardinals, Cubs and Astros and spent four years with the Hanshin Tigers of Japan.
