The 2000 National League Championship Series (NLCS), to determine the champion of Major League Baseball's National League, was played between the Central Division champion St. Louis Cardinals and the wild card New York Mets. The Mets and Cards used as a rally cry the 2000 hit song "Who Let the Dogs Out?" by the Baha Men. It was the first NLCS since 1990 not to feature the Braves. MLB did not have a postseason in 1994 due to the 1994-95 Major League Baseball strike and the Braves appeared in the 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999 League Championship Series.
