Terrance Gore: Royals speedster who sparked a 2015 title dies at 34
Terrance Gore, the Royals speedster who helped Kansas City win the 2015 World Series despite not recording a major league hit until 2018, died Feb. 6 at 34 from complications during routine surgery. Known for a 4.29-second 40-yard dash and a career-starting 17-for-17 in stolen bases, Gore played for the Royals, Cubs, Dodgers, Braves and Mets over parts of eight MLB seasons, appeared in the 2021 NLDS with Atlanta, and celebrated the Braves’ title during that run. Born in Macon, Georgia, he attended Gulf Coast State College, was drafted by Kansas City in 2011, and after retirement worked as a speed and baseball trainer in Panama City with his wife Britney and their three children.
