veteran L.A. Rams quarterback Joe Pendleton, played by Warren Beatty, is in the prime of his life - "at my age, in any other business, I'd be young" - when he rides his way into an apparently fatal bicycle accident. An escort from above assigned to monitor such activity (Buck Henry) dutifully swoops up Joe to move him along on his celestial journey. Except the QB knew in his bones the accident wasn't as fatal as it appeared, and therefore heaven really could wait.

Gore had 85 plate appearances during his big-league career, and batted .216. But in some Septembers and October, he led the majors in fear induced, because of his speed. He was often added to rosters late in the regular season - first by the Royals, and subsequently by the Chicago Cubs, Dodgers and New York Mets -to serve as a pinch-runner, usually in the late innings of close games.

Terrance Gore, the fleet-footed outfielder and pinch-running specialist who appeared in the 2021 post-season with the Atlanta Braves, has passed away at age 34. Gore, a native of Macon, Ga., passed away unexpectedly due to complications from a procedure, according to reports. He appeared in parts of eight MLB seasons from 2014 through 2022 - appearing in 112 games but stepped to the plate only 85 ties.
