The Major League Baseball postseason American League Championship Series (ALCS) determines which team from the American League will play in the World Series.
The ALCS, which is usually a best-of-seven series, is played in October. When the ALCS first started it followed a best-of-five playoff structure but later changed to a best-of-seven format in 1985.
The winners of the American League's Eastern and Western Divisions, as decided by the regular season, are the two clubs that play in the ALCS.
The American League Championship Series champion takes home the American League pennant and proceeds to the World Series to play for the MLB championship against the National League champion.
Since its inception in 1969, when the league underwent expansion and split into two divisions, the American League Championship Series has played a crucial role in MLB's postseason.
The series is one of the most eagerly awaited events in the baseball preseason, with many great moments and performances throughout the years.
