Former outfielder Terrance Gore has tragically died at age 34, MLB announced Saturday .
An eight-year MLB veteran, Gore made a career out of his outstanding base-running ability. He had only 85 regular-season plate appearances with the Kansas City Royals , Chicago Cubs and New York Mets , but nabbed 43 stolen bases. It's a historic feat considering no other MLB player has cleared 40 stolen bases with under 100 plate appearances.
