He was like a breath of fresh air on the field, always hustling and making plays happen. I mean, 43 steals in 52 attempts? That's insane! But what really gets me is how he rose to fame with those World Series titles – it's like he was meant for greatness 
.
. Let's take a moment to appreciate this talented dude's life and all the joy he brought to our favorite sport 
my heart goes out to Terrance Gore's family... 34 is way too young 
. I remember watching him play in some of those games with the Royals... what a spark plug on the field 
️. It's crazy how quickly life can change and take you away from us all too soon 
.
but what really got me is that he was just such a down-to-earth person u can tell from how many tributes r coming in from other teams like the dodgers and cubs... anyway i'm really going to miss seeing him on the field tho 
. I mean, it's not like he was a baller or anything, but still... one RBI in 112 games? You gotta feel for the guy, though 
. But yeah, life's short, bro 
. It's like, we're all just trying to make it through our own 112 games without striking out 
. Rest in peace, Terrance Gore 
Did he get to enjoy that Florida sun with his kiddos? 
, I mean... what's up with this? He was just 34 and already gone 
. It's crazy how quickly life can change, right? One minute you're living your best life, and the next... RIP Terrance Gore 
. But on the other hand, his passing is like a harsh reminder to appreciate every moment we have 
- I can only imagine how bright it must've been! 
Anyway, we're all gonna miss him big time 
.
and off it was so inspiring to see him smile, you know? his story's a reminder that life's not always fair, no matter how talented or dedicated you are. 34 is way too young, feels like he still had so much to give 
. i remember him bein a bit of an underdog, but he proved ppl wrong every time out there 
anyway back to Gore... 34 is really young and it makes me think of my friend who died in a car accident when he was 25. it's just so sad
