What do you think of Terrance Gore?
He's valuable. But still he's played ten years in professional baseball and hit ONE homerun in a triple a game
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.
Goat
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.
Terrance Gore is THE definition of The Specialist®
We have the same profile picture
@@inactiveaccount2781 Gore has the same profile pic as Hines Ward, also from GA, coincidence?
basically willie mays hayes
Stories like this are why baseball is such a beautiful game. I'd never heard of this guy until this video. "More WS rings than hits!" Only in baseball.
Amen. There’s nothing as magical as baseball
He actually has more hits than WS rings he has 15 hits in his career and 3 Rings.
He has only actually played in one World Series game and scored the winning run in that game but the Royals lost that Series in 7 to the Giants.
“Only in baseball” never heard of any other sport bud?
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.
Undeniably the best game ever. Since he's a Met now I hope he gets another ring this year. LGM
Mike Trout - 0 Rings
Shohei Ohtani - 0 Rings
Terrance Gore - 3 Rings
Who’s really the best player here?
🧠🧐
Pablo Sandoval with 4 rings, clearly
@@shoukatsukai would've had 5 if we'd kept him
@@traeacuna who's we?
Barry Bonds- 0 Rings. He was obviously never as good as Gore.
My favorite part is that he signed a minor contract with the New York Mets on June 6, 2022. They are currently in first place in the NL East and destined for a post season run. So he may end up with yet another World Series ring!
Mets always find a way to lose though
Maybe he is the lucky charm to win World Series, if this happens again he can write the amount of money on the check for sure!! 😁
lol Mets reigns supreme
This aged well.
I live only a few minutes from Terrance, I get to throw BP to him sometimes when he was at my old high school with us and got to train with him when I was younger. One of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen and he’s an awesome person as well! ❤️
You ever tease him about have more rings then hits?
Did you go to Jones County too?
Made for Postseason baseball!
I always thought it sucked that he never gets consistent PT but it makes sense like why start you and you go 0-4 when I can just put you on 1st base in the 8th inning but still I always hoped he would like at least turn into a Jarod Dyson a guy who could at least hit and field ENOUGH to warrant a job with his crazy speed
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.
He was just flat out fun to watch when he was on the Cubs. They knew he was going to steal but could do nothing about it.
Same Happens in 2004. Yanks vs Sox
A.L.C.S. With Dave Roberts When He
Came To Pinch Run in The 9 inning
All 33+ Thousands In Fenway Park
And The 25 + Millions Seeing The
Game On T.V. 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.
Damn, I never knew this guy existed but I'm glad I do now.
How dare you not know about the 🐐
The low key Star Wars music in the back is chill
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
As a Red Sox fan, one player comes to mind here, and that’s Dave Roberts.
Excellent insightful baseball under the radar oddities… simply love them 🤩
Herb Washington who played 105 games for the A's, never had a hit in the Majors. He also has a World Series ring.
If you look at his baseball card, his position actually read “Pinch Runner”!
One of the reasons why baseball is such a great sport
Thank you for making this video, i found the story hilarious
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.
It took me like 25 min to watch this bc I kept rewinding to see the slides lmao
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.
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.
Man! He IS super fast! The video looks like it’s on fast forward when he’s running!
Absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Mlb draft strategy: find an absolutely terrible baseball team, and now you'll stick out like a sore thumb to scouts
Getting the most out of your talent. Excellent. Congrats to TG.
Does the music intro give anyone the mandalorian vibes ?!
Ps. Love that you are getting all these subscribers! I been here see the beginning. Love that channel is being noticed. You have put in the work. Congrats brother.
The soundtrack in the back is a remix of Lukes Theme
It is the Mando theme for the intro!!! And thank you so much!! Your support means the world to me
I love the Star Wars lounge covers haha
Never thought I’d see a faster base runner on the Braves than Rafael Furcal or Otis Nixon. Guy is lightning quick
Otis Nixon robbing Andy Van Slyke of a home run is one of my favorite baseball moments. The last 29 years have flown by.
Speed manufactures runs & Gore is a legend.
Love the content, and the appearance of a very subtle Star Wars-themed groove in the background…😎👍 keep it up, Sir!
I'd play that guy every day. With that speed, you gotta play him. Screw the metrics. That guy has an odd set of skills that makes him a headache for opposing managers.
Agreed, and the .220 he batter is still above Mendoza.
Lmao sure worked out for Billy Hamilton
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'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
Great video and profile! Very well done. This was a lot of fun to watch and I really enjoyed it. Thanks!
Thank you for watching it and supporting the channel! Much appreciated
That old rock and roll song that says I'm running home that should be his song whenever he walks up to the plate😂
Great video. I love it when under appreciated talent get a spot light.
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 remember when he was on the royals, he never played but when he did we were happy 😂
Bro used all of his skill points to max his speed stats
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.
Do you mean an opener? Also, it is more strategic like this than it would be to just out in a speed guy in the 8th or 9th
Reminds me of an older player from the 70's named Herb Washington.
Interesting Herb Washington who never bat or played field, played less than 2 years, but has been in more games than Gore.
"He went out and actually did pretty well for someone who was never a good hitter"
Proceeds to show two fielding errors
Terrance Gore, what a guy. Love this dude!
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. I thought money ball disproved old school scouting and just focused on runs scored.
@@35mm21 I think it's because he's mostly been a September call up when the rosters expanded. With the bigger rosters he wasn't taking up a valuable roster spot to just pinch run. He's played 56 games in September/October, which is more than half of his regular season appreances.
He was exciting to watch when he played for the Royals.
this is a great story Thanks!
Teams watching this video like: “MAN! Let’s give this guy a full season and see what happens” 😂
Pretty cool to win a ring with your hometown team as well
I know Terrance gore from mlb the show everyone had him as pinch runner lol
Gawd those head first slides scare the shxt outta me 😂
Terrance gore waits til roster expansion and plays for the post season bonuses… interesting career.
Reminds of the NFL commercial of the back up quarterback who was part of every winning Super Bowl teams for 30 years.
AWESOME story. Guys like Terrance is what makes sports so great.
Reminds me of Herb Washington, a full-time pinch runner for the A's in the mid-70s.
I'd say at this point in his career he's something of a good luck charm as well
7:15 he picks up the ball 😂
unbelievable
followed. incredible story. hope he makes it for years to come.
What a legend
Damn this is cool, I work with a guy that went to high-school with him and he was just telling me recently how weird his career is and how he only gets used here and there and then this video popped into my feed
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).
Terrence Gore in a nutshell: "I may be a shitty hitter, but you better BELIEVE that I can run.
More rings than hits at one point. That is just hilarious
It's funny how you mentioned that 1 pinch run appearance with the braves because that was the first time I've ever heard of him
NOW THAT IS A CLASSIC TEAM PLAYER
Lmao didn't even know the music was star wars the clone wars then I was like this sounds familiar great video on Terrence gore
Great video!!
thank you!
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.
This was great! I’m a Braves fan and was struggling to recall him.🤦🏾♀️ As a Georgia girl…proud to know he’s Georgia-grown!☺️☝🏾
I deadass saw Terrance gore in the World Series clinching game on the bench and thought to myself, this dude has been on 3 WS winning teams 🤔
.224 aint to shabby for rarely seeing the plate and getting the feel lol
This shows that he is more a good luck amulet than a baseball player.
what about kenny loften? Dude was on like 20 different teams but somehow went to the playoffs like 15 years in a row.
Terrance Gore, a KC Royals favorite. Love that man, and so happy for him
this is the dream, sitting home and collecting rings.
One of my favorite quirky players in baseball history: the career playoff pinch-runner
I remember that we had a call up on the bench during the playoffs but I didn’t know it was Terrance, who I’d never heard of…
When he's 80 and shows his world series rings, he will be a hero to the children !!!!! 2022
There won’t be any children birth rates are dropping rapidly
I actually knew about this guy. But you tell this story very well.
I use him for the same thing in The Show 21. I do play him but his speed: he's great as a Pinch Runner.
I hope Terrance goes to the Marlins, can get some playing time, and he can have a jersey on the Marlins website for cheap and it would look nice, and I could add it to my Gore collection
Royals fan here loved Terrance Gore he was part of our identity. "That's what speed do"!
I never eat popcorn at the movies but do when iTalk posts
this may be the greatest compliment I’ve ever gotten
Gore is like a punter on a high powered offense in Football
3 steps and he's at full speed and then his stride is so long and smooth it's unreal.
all that and he doesn’t have to deal with famous crap like the paparazzi and haters. seems like a good deal.
Wild story. This is one interesting player for sure. Hope to see more of him for years to come. Maybe win 3 more rings.
Michael Jordan
If you want to win a ring, have Terrance Gore on your playoff team.
I swear mans is in like every World Series
Much like Tim Locastro, Gore should just master the art of the bunt, he has the speed to beat the throw and he'd actually have a solid batting average; at least until teams move their first and third baseman over half way to the plate along the line ready for the bunt
That’s when he should bloop it over them in the gap
I remember he went in to pinch run during the play-offs for the Braves and saying where did this guy come from?
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
Is the background music the clones theme from TCW?
As a Braves fan told me when the World Series rosters dropped, "idk wtf a Terrance gore is, but whatever snit"
On the Mets now! Hopefully his speed will help bring us a championship this year!
I haven't seen anyone run the bases like that.
