Member Of Dodgers World Series Championship Team Dead at 34

LOS ANGELES, CA — Former Los Angeles Dodgers' baserunning phenom Terrance Gore has died at 34, Major League Baseball confirmed Saturday.

The circumstances of his death were not immediately disclosed.

Gore helped launched the Dodgers to World Series victory in 2020. In all, he played for three World Series championship teams.

"Gore’s Major League career was wholly unique," the league announced. "He had just 85 regular-season plate appearances through 112 games. His first hit didn’t come until 2018 -- his fifth season in the league -- spanning just 12 at-bats."

Still, he'd already racked up 23 stolen bases in the regular season and four more in the playoffs, according to MLB.

"With blazing speed that hardly ever slowed down, Gore began his career going 17-for-17 on the bases in the regular season," the league said in a written statement.

Gore played for three seasons with the Kansas City Royals, and single seasons with the Chicago Cubs, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Atlanta Braves and the New York Mets. He won championships with the Royals, the Dodgers and the Braves.

"There have been very few players who can take over a baseball game,” said former Royals general manager Dayton Moore, the architect of the 2014-15 postseason teams. “That’s exactly what he did. He became a fan favorite. He was beloved by his teammates. And he was just fearless and impactful on the bases but also off the field.”

The dodgers offered the team's condolences on X. "The Dodgers express their sorrow over the sudden passing of Terrance Gore, a member of our 2020 World Series champions. We send our condolences to his loved ones."
