Terrance Gore, a two-time World Series champion, has died unexpectedly at the age of 34, according to reports.
The outfielder played eight years in the major leagues with multiple teams, including the New York Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Gore died following complications during a routine surgery, according to a social media post shared by his wife Britney. He is survived by Britney, and their three children.
