Terrance Gore, a base-running specialist who played for the Los Angeles Dodgers‘ 2020 World Series championship team, has died at age 34, the team announced Saturday.
“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,” the Dodgers posted on X.
Gore died Friday due to complications from an unspecified surgical procedure, according to multiple media reports.
He was born in Georgia and played college baseball at Gulf Coast Community College in Florida. Gore was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in 2011 and made his Major League debut for that team in 2014.
Gore was not on the roster when Kansas City won the World Series in 2015, but received a ring nonetheless, the first of three he would win in his career.

He signed a minor league contract with the Dodgers in February 2020, and although he appeared sparingly and was once again left off the World Series roster, he received a World Series ring after the Dodgers beat the Tampa Bay Rays in six games.
The next season, Gore was on the postseason roster for champion Atlanta Braves, and received another ring despite not appearing in any World Series games.
The speedy outfielder appeared in 112 regular season games during his eight-season MLB career, batting .216 with 43 stolen bases.
