The 1972 American League Championship Series was the best-of-five series in Major League Baseball (MLB) between the Oakland Athletics and the Detroit Tigers for the right to go to the 1972 World Series. The fourth edition of the ALCS was held from October 7 to October 12.
The first two games were played at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, and the final three at Tiger Stadium. In each of the first four games, the home team prevailed; the A's won the deciding fifth game 2–1 on the road to take their first American League pennant since 1931.[1][2]
