David J. McKeough was a catcher who played with Rochester of the American Association in 1890, when there were three major leagues.  Smallish (5-7, 160) but skilled behind the plate, he put in a few years in the minors on either side of his 1.5 year career (McKeough went to Philadelphia in the American Association for half of 1891) before putting away the spikes and becoming a plumbing inspector after finishing the 1892 season with Buffalo.  Even his plumbing career was only about eight years long – he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on July 11, 1901 and died in his hometown (and birthplace) of Utica, New York.

Arriving December 1, 1863, David was the second of five children born to Patrick and Bridget (Franklin) McKeough, both Irish imports. Patrick was a laborer while Bridget took care of the children and her mother, who also lived with the family. David’s wife, the former Josephine Hoffman, met the catcher whilst McKeough was playing minor league ball in Memphis, where he played two seasons before joining Rochester in 1899 (see photo, above). David and Josephine had two daughters but just a short time together. Josephine died in 1897 and oldest daughter Marie Josephine died in August, 1900, leaving Ellen to grow up having lost her family by the age of five.
