Umpiring career

Before being promoted to the major leagues in 1947, Gore umpired in the Canadian-American League in 1937 and 1938, in the Eastern League from 1939 to 1942, and in the International League from 1942 to 1946. He umpired in the 1951 and 1953 World Series and two All-Star Games (1949 and 1956).

In December 1956, NL president Warren Giles released Gore from the league to make room for younger umpires Ken Burkhart and Tony Venzon.

Later life

Gore moved to New Hampshire in his later years. He died there after a brief illness in September 1986. He was 78.
