He went on to help Kansas City reach multiple World Series championships, ultimately helping the team snap a 30-year title drought in 2015.
Following seven years with the Royals, Gore went on to enjoy stints with the Chicago Cubs, Dodgers, Atlanta Brave and the Mets.
Known for his quick pace, Gore retired in 2022 with a .216 batting average and 43 stolen bases in 112 MLB games.
In his retirement, Gore reportedly became the co-owner of a hitting facility in Panama City, Florida, where he ran day-to-day operations since September 2024.
Major League Baseball led the tributes to the Georgia native with a heartfelt statement on social media.
‘We are shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of Terrance Gore,’ the league’s official X account shared.
‘A member of the back-to-back AL champion and 2015 World Series champion Kansas City Royals, Gore played eight Major League seasons in all from 2014-2022. He also appeared for the Cubs, Dodgers, Braves, and Mets.
‘The speedy outfielder and pinch-running specialist stole 43 bases in his regular season career while only being caught nine times. He was 5-for-6 in Postseason stolen base attempts and stole 324 bases in 11 Minor League seasons.’
