	National League Championship Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Major League Baseball, the National League Championship Series (NLCS) determines who wins the National League pennant and advances to baseball's championship, the World Series, facing the winner of the American League Championship Series.
		Prior to 1969, the National League Champion (the "Pennant Winner") was determined by the best won-loss record at the end of the regular season.
		In 1994, the league was restructured into three divisions, with the three division winners and a wild-card team advancing to a best-of-five playoff round, the National League Division Series (NLDS).

		In Game 2 of the 1971 NLCS against the Giants, Pirates first baseman Bob Robertson becomes the first Major Leaguer to hit three home runs in League Championship history.
		After consecutive singles by Tony Perez and Denis Menke, Gusti is replaced by Bob Moose, who uncorks a wild pitch that allows George Foster, pinch running for Perez, to score the winning run and the Reds to win their second pennant in three years.
		Light-hitting switch hitter Ozzie Smith never homered from the left side of the plate during his career until Game 5 of the 1985 NLCS when he hits the game-winning home run off Tom Niedenfuer to give the Cardinals a 3-2 victory and a 3-2 lead in games in the Series.

	High Country News
		The office of the National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) was intended to formally recognize the BLM’s emergence as a manager of world-class land resources, on par with the National Park Service.
		This not only makes for complex bookkeeping, but also means that the NLCS must compete for funding with hundreds of other agency projects.
		The NLCS secured a total of $36.2 million in 2000, according to agency figures, and its funding inched upwards in 2001, 2002 and 2003 to a high of $58.5 million.

	Our Vision for the NLCS
		In addition, to adequately protect the integrity of the natural grasslands, riparian corridors, and diverse ecosystems of the West, the NLCS must be expanded.
		The goal of the NLCS Coalition is to see the system expanded to a size that will ensure effective conservation of whole ecosystems and habitat corridors.
		The NLCS landscapes are the very heart of who we are--the ancestral soil of all of us who trace our roots to a love of the land.
