The organization said it was devastated by the loss and expressed condolences to his family and loved ones.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"529\" data-end=\"909\">Known as a postseason secret weapon, Gore built a rare career defined almost entirely by speed. Across\u00a0<strong data-start=\"632\" data-end=\"653\">eight MLB seasons<\/strong>, he appeared in just\u00a0<strong data-start=\"675\" data-end=\"688\">112 games<\/strong>\u00a0with limited plate appearances, yet routinely changed games as a pinch runner. He stole\u00a0<strong data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"789\">48 bases<\/strong>\u00a0in his career, including key postseason steals, and was especially lethal in October when everyone knew he was running.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"1234\">Drafted by the Royals in 2011, Gore debuted in 2014 and quickly became part of Kansas City\u2019s championship blueprint. He won his first World Series ring with the Royals in\u00a0<strong data-start=\"1082\" data-end=\"1090\">2015<\/strong>, then added two more with the\u00a0<strong data-start=\"1121\" data-end=\"1139\">Dodgers (2020)<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong data-start=\"1144\" data-end=\"1161\">Braves (2021)<\/strong>\u2014an extraordinary achievement for a player whose role was so specialized.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1236\" data-end=\"1416\">Tributes poured in from across baseball.
