Terrence Gore, who has won the World Series three times in the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB), has left for heaven. He was 34.

MLB's official website MLB.com reported on the 8th (Korea time) that "Gore's wife Britney reported that her husband Gore died of complications after undergoing normal surgery on the night of the 7th."

Gore, who made his big league debut with the Kansas City Royals in 2014, played in 112 big league games. He was a specialist who was faster than anyone else. His first hit didn't come until 2018, his fifth season since his debut. There were only 16 hits in the big league, but they often gave the team a decisive victory, marking 43 stolen bases (nine failures), far more than this. An RBI, 33 runs. The overall batting average is 0.216, and the overall OPS (on-base plus slugging) is 0.580.

Above all, he collected many World Series championship rings despite his small number of appearances. He has won the World Series three times as a member of the Kansas City Royals in the 2015 season, the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2020 season, and the Atlanta Braves in the 2021 season. On the fall baseball stage, he played a role in changing the flow of the game by putting him as a pinch runner at an important match point.

"We are deeply saddened by the news of the loss of Gore," the Kansas City Royals said in a statement. "He was one of the most beloved players in our club's history. We extend our deepest condolences to his family," he said.

LA Dodgers manager Dave Roberts also said, "Gore has always been a positive energy player. He paid tribute to Gore, saying, "I knew exactly what I needed to win the team."

Gore continued playing for the Kansas City Royals before heading to the Chicago Cubs in August 2018. After returning to Kansas City the following year, he left for the New York Yankees in July of the 2019 season. He then played for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2020 season and played in the Atlanta Braves uniform in the 2021 season. And he took off his active uniform after his last game with the New York Mets in the 2022 season.

"Gore was like a brother to all of us," said Eric Hosmer, 37, who played for Kansas City from the 2011 to 2017 seasons. He had to be on the roster in September, and in the playoffs, because he had very fast feet. He was a fearless player. He recalled the deceased, saying, "I got along well with my colleagues." "Everyone knows Gore is trying to steal, but he managed to steal," he added.

MLB.com said, "Not only the fans but also the teammates liked Gore because of his vibrant personality. No matter what clubhouse he entered, people were attracted to him. And the energy of winning always seemed to follow him," he said.

"Most people thought Gore was just a pinch runner specialist," said Dayton Moore, former Kansas City general manager. So Gore tried a little harder. I took pride in developing as a batter and outfielder. In fact, I could have settled down as a baserunning specialist while simply maintaining my fast feet in each game. But Gore did not. I tried in every aspect. That's one of the reasons I admire him. I worked really hard, and I continued to do so after retirement," he said.

Gore is survived by his wife Britney and three children. The family lives in Panama City, Florida, and Gore was working as his son's baseball team coach and trainer.
