I've done a World Series and Pennant drought list, now here's an LCS appearance drought list. Like the WS list, if a franchise moved cities in the middle of a current drought, I'll include both the franchise drought and the city drought in this list. This year, the Texas Rangers appeared in their first LCS, becoming the last of the 30 teams to do so. They also became the last ML team to win a post-season series.
**Team that hasn't been since a franchise move. Year indicates year of move.
