I was actually hoping for him to have a “Dave Roberts” moment in this World Series. Atlanta down to their last out in game 5 at home in a tied game, Gore comes on to pinch run and he scores the winning run from first on a bloop single. Too bad there was never a moment the Braves needed a speedy runner in this series. Anyway, I think he is a much more interesting player that all these big swingers that either strike out or hit a homerun.

You should check out the 1970s Oakland Athletics attempts at a "designated runner". They carried several players just for pinch running duty. Don Hopkins, Matt Alexander, Larry Lintz, Herb Washington and Allan Lewis.

Terrence Gore is basically the exact same player as Billy Hamilton. He's only used for his baserunning ability. The only real difference is Gore was lucky enough to be on the Royals, Dodgers and Braves teams when they all happened to win the World Series. He personally didn't do much to help them win it. All of those teams would have won the World Series if they never had Gore. I have nothing against the guy and he is a great base stealer. The fact that he has 3 rings is purely luck though. Maybe he's a good luck charm.

So true, more rings than hits? Exactly it's baseball, where else would it be when you're talking WS. It's called "riding the pine", but remember the story of Dick Vermeil in his second year with the Phil. Eagles having an open tryouts and a guy named Vince Papale shows up? It was back in '77. It wasn't a career, just a season, and still inspirational.

BaccyardBaseball: The trouble with giving him regular playing time is that when you do need him, he is unavailable. Even if was a so-so batter hitting 250, he would still be more valuable to the team in those late inning situations where you need him as a base stealing threat. Baseball is a funny game in that you can only sub in once in the game. It's not like other sports where players are in and out of the game depending on the situation.

Made for Postseason baseball!

Gore is a player I’ll always remember as a Royals fan. I feel like he was such a prime example of everything those mid 2010s Royals teams were all about: finding success where no one was looking

As has been already said, built for post season ball. He has also taken advantage of every opportunity given to him so good for him. Some guys would be too egotistical to do something that seems so minor, but he has done it well with nothing but appreciation for where he is and hard work. Awesome guy. Met him in KC at the parade and he's a super nice and down to earth guy that you could tell was beside himself to have been part of the organization for that.

Damn, I never knew this guy existed but I'm glad I do now.

Plus MO and Posada All Known That Roberts Going To Stole Second and They Can't Do Nothing About it....and After He Stole 2nd Base. The Flood Gates Were Open...and They Won 4 in a Row....After Been 0 - 3 in The Series....The Only Team in History To Came From 0 - 3. and All Start With That Stolen Base... Just Saying.

Loved watching Gore's big moment with the Cubs live. I was so excited for the guy. When he came up to bat later, I thought "Red light has to be on until he reaches two strikes" and when the count when full I kept thinking "Red light, don't let him swing!" and sure enough, the pitch was outside the zone, but Gore chased it and whiffed. I don't blame him, I blame the manager. If he gets on base there with his speed, things might have ended differently. I chuckled when he got another ring this year. Good for him! He's really easy to root for.

The low key Star Wars music in the back is chill

I saw him on the Braves(I’m a fan) and I literally don’t remember seeing him play once lol so this video is fitting lol

He never looks unhappy. He never complains. He is the farthest things from a prima donna. He is there to be the key runner on base to win a championships game. He is very happy to be at the right place at the right time. More power to him. If he played in the offseason in an instructional league so he could learn to be a defensive replacement, or become a little bit better of a hitter, especially to the opposite field, or a bunter, he could open up more opportunistic backup opportunities for himself.

Terrance Gore, and players like him, should be a part of every teams 26 man roster as long as they use the new extra inning rules. Steal third, then score on a sac fly or squeeze play.

Herb Washington who played 105 games for the A's, never had a hit in the Majors. He also has a World Series ring.

@lemmiwinks09

If you look at his baseball card, his position actually read “Pinch Runner”!

He's not the only base stealing specialist with a ring. Herb Washington was a designated runner for the A's when they won the WS in 1974. It was a bigger deal then because Charlie Finley was the owner and he always hyped his players in the press. Washington played one more year with the A's before returning to track full-time. His career stat line: 105 Games Played, 0 Plate appearances, 31 Stolen Bases. He didn't make much of a dent in the post-season though, getting tossed out twice with 0 steals. But here's to players like Terrance Gore, Herb Washington, and Bruce Kimm (Mark "The Bird" Fidrych's personal catcher) for making the most of their limited time in the show.

Excellent insightful baseball under the radar oddities… simply love them 🤩

I was always the fastest baserunner on my team, and people would repeated get mad when I would steal because they thought I was risking them the game. When, in fact the speed was the only reason we scored at times.

As a Red Sox fan, one player comes to mind here, and that’s Dave Roberts.

I was the Cardinals AA photographer. We played the NW Arkansas Naturals all the time. Gore was fun to watch. When he hit the ball it sounded like a wet newspaper. He he got on base and stole a lot of bases. One time he bunted for a hit and the umpire called him out. The manager got thrown out of the game arguing the call. I called Terrance over to show him my photo which clearly showed him safe. He said “man I knew I was safe” then he said he would let the manager know. I said “oh please don’t do that. He’ll come out at home plate the next day and tell them they missed the call because the Cardinals photographer showed him he was safe. He laughed and said “yeah you got a point”. Great guy and so fun to watch.

One of the reasons why baseball is such a great sport

Absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing.

I'm a little late here but Herb Washington may have had a weirder career that Terrance Gore. In 1974, Washington was tapped by Oakland A's owner Charlie Finley to become the team's "designated runner". Over two seasons he appeared in 105 games and scored 39 runs with 33 stolen bases. He also had 0 at-bats. As in *zero* . He also had 0 appearances in the field. Again, as in *zero* . One World Series ring in 1974. His 1975 Topps baseball card literally listed his position as "Pinch Run.".

That’s insane Doesn’t a pinch runner count as a defensive sub? The only way this makes sense is if the team used him exclusively in the 8-9th inning, in over half their games, and never once batted around the order to get back to him at the plate. And if they did they may as well use a pinch hitter since it’s the final inning most of the time

After the Braves won the World Series I seen him on the field celebrating and immediately thought WTF,HOW MANY RINGS DOES THIS GUY HAVE?? it's crazy that I was not the only one

I watched Terrance Gore play minor league baseball for the Lexington Legends in 2013. He was the only member of that roster I believed to be major league material. He lead the league in stolen bases and was a very good outfielder. In 2015, I was watching him play for the Royals in World Series, primarily as a pinchrunner. I was wondering about his career a month ago and noticed was still bouncing up and down from minors to majors. I did not realize he was on the Braves roster, since he never played.

Speed manufactures runs & Gore is a legend.

That old rock and roll song that says I'm running home that should be his song whenever he walks up to the plate😂

This is one reason why I HATE HATE HATE the "situational left" / "situational righty". When the teams started adding these one-batter specialists, that was the end of carrying a roster spot for someone who could serve as a pinch runner. Teams started carrying 12, 13 or even 14 pitchers, often with two lefty specialists and one righty specialist. That was the end of pinch running and pretty much the end of defensive replacements too. Now they instituted the three batter minimum rule, which pretty much ended the "situational pitcher" because they usually get destroyed by having to stay in for an opposite batter. But we're still in the imbalanced era because starting pitchers are going only 5-6 innings, and many times there's an "opening" who goes only 1-3 innings. So we're still stuck with pitching staffs that account for half the total roster. That destroys all strategy; there's just no room for pinch hitters, pinch runners and defensive replacements.

the fact that this guy has 3x the ring totals as Ken Griffey Junior, Carl Yazstremski, Andre Dawson, Ty Cobb, Phil Niekro, Tony Gwynn, Rod Carew, Harmon Killebrew, Ichiro Suzuki, George Sisler, Mike Piazza, Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, Richie Ashburn, Robin Roberts, Ralph Kiner, Don Mattingley, Wilie McCovey, Billy Williams, Juan Marichal, Minnie Minoso, Carlton Fisk, Gaylord Perry, Jim Thome, Barry Bonds, Jim Rice, Luke Appling, and Ted Williams combined is proof that baseball is a team sport

I remember when he was on the royals, he never played but when he did we were happy 😂

Teams watching this video like: “MAN! Let’s give this guy a full season and see what happens” 😂

Reminds of the NFL commercial of the back up quarterback who was part of every winning Super Bowl teams for 30 years.

Reminds me of Herb Washington, a full-time pinch runner for the A's in the mid-70s.

what about kenny loften? Dude was on like 20 different teams but somehow went to the playoffs like 15 years in a row.

He was exciting to watch when he played for the Royals.

Three rings with three different teams over seven seasons. Three times as many rings as he has CAREER RBIs. His Rings x 5 = his career hits (15).

I know Terrance gore from mlb the show everyone had him as pinch runner lol

Terrance Gore, what a guy. Love this dude!

The seventies Oakland athletics had several of these players. Herb Washington, who was not even a player. There were also Matt Alexander, Allen Lewis, don Hopkins and Larry lintz were players who could hit and field but mostly were pinch runners

Terrance Gore is undervalued. his OBS is actually pretty good at .325 which is the same as Ozzie Albies. Just because your batting average is below normal does not mean you are not valuable and between his speed and OBS I am surprised nobody has taken him in the majors.

Pretty cool to win a ring with your hometown team as well

when he was part of the royals, i was so confused on what he was. he’s never get at bats and always pinch running and i never knew what was his purpose

I'd say at this point in his career he's something of a good luck charm as well

Every Royals fan knows where they were when "That's What Speed Duex" happened in 2014 against the White Sox. I'll never forget, as I had just convinced my then-9 year old son that we had to leave in the top of the 9th down 4-1 because it was a school night. And I missed one of the greatest 9th innings ever as pure speed won the game.

Dude that Royals WS team had some major speed. Cain and Escobar were already above average speedsters. Having Dyson and Gore coming off the bench was just unfair.

3 steps and he's at full speed and then his stride is so long and smooth it's unreal.

Terrance Gore, a KC Royals favorite. Love that man, and so happy for him

It looks like who ever gets him next will get a ring within 1 or 2 years. It can't be a team that already won one with him though.

Part of my legendary 2014-2015 Royals. That’s what Speed do

I live by the royals double a team and one time he bunted down the 3rd base line and the dude overthrew it and he went all the way around he's crazy
