The League Championship Series (LCS) is the official name for the semifinal round of postseason play in Major League Baseball which has been conducted since 1969.
 In 1981, and since 1995, the two annual series have matched up the winners of the Division Series, and the winners advance to meet in the World Series.
 The LCS comprises the American League Championship Series (ALCS) and National League Championship Series (NLCS).
The 2014 National League Championship Series was a best-of-seven playoff pitting the St. Louis Cardinals against the San Francisco Giants for the National League pennant and the right to play in the 2014 World Series.
 The series was the 45th in league history with Fox airing Game 1 and Fox Sports 1 airing Games 2–5 in the United States.
 Game 1 was simulcast on Fox Sports 1 and was hosted by Kevin Burkhardt, Gabe Kapler and C.J. Nitkowski, who offered sabermetric analysis of the game.
The 2010 National League Championship Series (NLCS) was a best-of-seven game Major League Baseball playoff series that pitted the winners of the 2010 National League Division Series—Philadelphia Phillies and San Francisco Giants—against each other for the National League Championship.
 The Giants won the series, 4–2, and went on to win the 2010 World Series.
 The series, the 41st in league history, began on October 16 and ended on October 23.
 The Phillies had home field advantage as a result of their better regular-season record.
 The Phillies hosted Games 1, 2 and 6, while the Giants were at home for Games 3, 4 and 5.
The National League Championship Series (NLCS) is a best-of-seven series played in October in the Major League Baseball postseason that determines the winner of the National League (NL) pennant.
 The winner of the series advances to play the winner of the American League (AL) Championship Series (ALCS) in the World Series, Major League Baseball's championship series.
Kimothy Emil Batiste (born March 15, 1968 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is a former Major League Baseball player for the Philadelphia Phillies (1991–1994) and San Francisco Giants (1996), both of the National League.
 He was drafted in the third round of the 1987 amateur draft by the Phillies.
 His major league debut came in 1991 with the Phillies.
 He was a key component of the Phillies 1993 National League Championship Series victory, delivering a game-winning RBI hit in the 10th inning of Game 1, though it was his error in the 9th inning that allowed the Braves to tie the game and force extra innings.
Danny Bradford Cox (born September 21, 1959) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher.
 He pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals from 1983 to 1988, the Philadelphia Phillies from 1991 to 1992, the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1992, and then the Toronto Blue Jays from 1993 to 1995, when he retired.
 Over his eleven-year career, Cox won 74, lost 75, recorded a 3.64 ERA, 21 complete games, 5 shutouts and 8 saves.
 He won Game 3 of the 1985 National League Championship Series with the Cardinals trailing 2 games to none.
 Cox pitched well in the 1985 World Series, but earned two no-decisions.
 He pitched a shutout in Game 7 of the 1987 National League Championship Series, and was the winning pitcher in Game 5 of the 1987 World Series, making Cox only the third European born pitcher to start a World Series game.
The San Francisco Giants are a Major League Baseball team that play in the National League.
 Their 2010 season marked their 128th year in Major League Baseball, their 53rd year in San Francisco since their move from New York following the 1957 season, and their 11th in AT&T Park.
 The Giants won the National League West for the first time since the 2003 season and both the National League Division Series and National League Championship Series for the first time since the 2002 season.
 They would go on to win the World Series, their first championship since moving to San Francisco in 1958.
The World Series, the modern championship series of Major League Baseball, began in 1903, and was established as an annual event in 1905.
 Before the formation of the American Association (AA), there were no playoff rounds—all championships went to the team with the best record at the end of the season.
 In the initial season of the National League (NL) in 1876, there was controversy as to which team was the champion: the Chicago White Stockings, who had the best overall record (52–14), or the St. Louis Brown Stockings (45–19), who were the only team to have a winning record against every other franchise in the league.
 The teams agreed to play a five-game "Championship of the West" series, won by St. Louis, 4 games to 1.
 Beginning in 1884, the championship series between the National League and the American Association were promoted and referred to as the "World's Championship Series" (WCS), or "World's Series" for short; however, they are not officially recognized by Major League Baseball as part of World Series history.
 Though early publications, such as Ernest Lanigan's "Baseball Cyclopedia" and Turkin and Thompson's "Encyclopedia of Baseball", listed the 19th-century games on an equal basis with those of the 20th century, "Sporting News" publications about the World Series, which began in the 1920s, ignored the 19th-century games, as did most publications about the Series after 1960.
 Major League Baseball, in general, regards 19th-century events as a prologue to the modern era of baseball, which is defined by the emergence of the two present major leagues.
The Major League Baseball postseason is an elimination tournament held after the conclusion of the MLB regular season.
 As of 2012, the playoffs for each league—American and National—consist of a one-game wild-card playoff between two wild card teams, two best-of-five Division Series (LDS) featuring the wild-card winner and the winner of each division, and finally the best-of-seven League Championship Series (LCS).
 The winners of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) and the National League Championship Series (NLCS) play each other in the best-of-seven World Series.
