The baseball world has been left heartbroken after the news of the passing of Terrance Gore, a beloved member of the back-to-back AL champion and 2015 World Series champion Kansas City Royals. Gore, who played a pivotal role as a pinch-running specialist and outfielder, had a career that spanned eight Major League seasons from 2014 to 2022, with notable stints for the Cubs, Dodgers, Braves, and Mets.
Gore’s remarkable speed and instincts on the base paths made him a unique asset to any team he played for. Throughout his career, he stole an impressive 43 bases in the regular season, being caught only nine times. In the postseason, his abilities shone even brighter—he was a perfect 5-for-6 in stolen base attempts, showing how valuable he was in high-pressure situations. In addition to his MLB accomplishments, Gore stole 324 bases during his 11 seasons in the Minor Leagues, further solidifying his reputation as one of the game’s most electrifying base runners.
Terrance Gore, just 34 years old at the time of his passing, will be remembered for his exceptional speed, dedication to the game, and the joy he brought to fans with every stolen base. His legacy will live on in the hearts of his teammates, fans, and the baseball community at large. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
