"Former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Terrance Gore died Saturday aged 34 due to complications with a surgical procedure. Gore received a World Series ring with the Dodgers in 2020 despite only playing two games with the squad, and won two more World Series: one with the Kansas City Royals in 2015 and the other with the Atlanta Braves in 2021. The speedster didn't take many at-bats in MLB, as teams largely relief on him as a pinch-running and defensive specialist."
"The Dodgers signed Gore to a minor league contract ahead of the 2020 season, and called him up early in the shortened season. He featured for the big league squad twice without making a plate appearance before the Dodgers designated him for assignment and ultimately sent him back to the Dodgers' alternate training site after he cleared waivers. The outfielder didn't feature in the minors due to the cancellation of the season because of the COVID-19 Pandemic."
Terrance Gore died Saturday at age 34 from complications related to a surgical procedure. Gore earned three World Series rings: with the Kansas City Royals in 2015, the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020 (despite appearing in only two games), and the Atlanta Braves in 2021. Teams primarily used Gore as a pinch-runner and defensive specialist, limiting his plate appearances. He stole 48 bases in 58 attempts across 123 career games including regular season and postseason play. Gore debuted with the Royals in 2014, had stints with the Cubs, Braves system, Dodgers, and finished his career with the Mets.
