Three-time World Series champion Terrance Gore has died at age 34, the Kansas City Royals announced Saturday.

Gore was a member of the Royals when they won the American League Championship Series in 2014 and 2015, and part of their World Series-winning team in 2015. He played from 2014 to 2022 and appeared in the major leagues with the Royals, Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets.

Gore was one of the only players in Major League Baseball. He was added to postseason rosters for his ability to pinch run and play outfield defense. He played 112 career regular season games, batting .216 with no career home runs but 43 stolen bases.

He had only 85 plate appearances in his MLB career. While Gore was not a threat at the plate, he was a threat on the base path, stealing 324 bases in 11 minor league seasons.

His ability to steal bases made him a staple on many postseason rosters. Gore was 5 for 6 in stolen base attempts in the postseason.
