Terrance Gore, a dynamic baserunner whose speed impacted postseason games for the better part of a decade, has died at age 34, the Kansas City Royals announced Saturday.
According to USA Today, Britney Gore, his wife, posted on social media that Gore died from complications after routine surgery. He leaves behind three children.
"Very sad to wake up and hear this," said the Dodgers' Dave Roberts, one of many major league managers who deployed Gore as a pinch runner during his career. "He was as confident a base stealer as I've ever been around."
Eric Hosmer was a teammate of Gore with the Royals.
"Absolutely brutal news," he texted. "A great teammate."
