#Mizzou over Kansas 38-21

[MLB @MLB]

We are shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of Terrance Gore.

A member of the back-to-back AL champion and 2015 World Series champion Kansas City Royals, Gore played eight Major League seasons in all from 2014-2022. He also appeared for the Cubs, Dodgers, Braves, and Mets.

The speedy outfielder and pinch-running specialist stole 43 bases in his regular season career while only being caught nine times. He was 5-for-6 in Postseason stolen base attempts and stole 324 bases in 11 Minor League seasons.

Gore was 34 years old.

[Ian Hartitz @Ihartitz]

He was labeled a bust.

Let go multiple times.

Everyone gave up on him.

But look who is in the Super Bowl now.

Congrats, Drew Lock

The #Astros pitching staff combined for just one 100 mph pitch all of last season -- the fewest in the Majors.

Hudson Leach, the flamethrowing right-hander who has been lighting up the radar gun in the Fall League, may change that in 2026: https://t.co/skfnVRbWLi

It's cool to see #RoyalAnnouncement trending. I was excited to see Cole Ragans will get the Opening Day start, too.

We are thinking of you extra today, Yordano 💙

[Joel Goldberg @goldbergkc]

Remembering the late Yordano Ventura on this January 22nd day. It’s been 7 years since his passing. What a blessing to spend so much time with a kid who had a personality as big as his 100+mph fastball. Will always miss Ace. #RIP

@MattJHarris85 Do you know why Pierce gets so little playing time in the beginning of games, only to be subbed in late when Mizzou is chasing 3s? It happened today and back against Seton Hall.

[Eliah Drinkwitz @CoachDrinkwitz]

Thank you, Blake for all you did for @MizzouFootball. Your help in all we’ve accomplished cannot be DENIED! I enjoyed every minute of our journey together - but it’s time for you to go on a new path- Gods Speed! I wish you well!!

My first thought of 2024 is that I can't believe Mitchell Page didn't win the 1977 Rookie of the Year award.

[Not Gaetti @notgaetti]

Not enough people talk about David Cone:

• More WAR than Drysdale & Koufax
• More SHO than Pedro & Smoltz
• More K than Spahn & Feller
• Won 1994 AL Cy Young
• Perfect Game in 1998
• 5x WS Champion

Somehow, just a one-and-done on his only HOF ballot (3.9% of the vote in 2009). An injustice!

@Ryan__Ribeiro And you can even write off that donation on your taxes. A win/win scenario.

[Rick Sutcliffe @Sut_40]

Hawk looked up at me and said “where is he”. I said “at 2nd base” he said “help me up”!!!

[David Laurila @DavidLaurilaQA]

Sandy Koufax threw 2,324.1 innings and had a 131 ERA+. Johan Santana threw 2,025 innings and had a 136 ERA+. One of these pitchers was a first-ballot Hall of Famer, the other got 2.4% of the votes in his only year on the ballot.
