Cody Ross Wins NLCS MVP Award

Filed under: Giants, MLB Playoffs, National League Championship Series

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Cody Ross joked it was easy for San Francisco Giants fans to chant "Cody! Cody!" during his stellar postseason because his name was only two syllables.

After the National League championship series, they can shout three letters.

"M-V-P!"

Ross went from baseball's scrap heap to the top of the heap, landing there as one of the Giants' most unlikely postseason stars. He was Cody in the Clutch in the NLCS and was selected MVP after the Gaints beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 Saturday night to advance to their first World Series since 2002.

Acquired Aug. 22 from the Marlins on a waiver claim, Ross was unsure of his role in a crowded outfield rotation. He found his way into the lineup, hit .350 with six extra-base hits and will take his spot in right field for Game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday night in San Francisco.
