Matt Holliday put a perfect ending on a season full of late comebacks and collapses.

Now, ready for the playoffs?

Holliday slid home headfirst Monday night in the 13th inning with the batting title, RBI crown and Colorado’s first postseason berth since 1995. The Rockies filled out the October field with a 9-8 win over San Diego in a tiebreaker for the NL wild card.

“It’s been an incredible run from game 1 to game 163,” Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said. “This is just a snapshot of what we’ve been through.”

The sweet ride starts Wednesday, and there’s a new mix all over. Because along with usual suspects Derek Jeter, David Ortiz and Lou Piniella, fresh faces abound this fall.

Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley up the middle. Daisuke Matsuzaka starting, Joba Chamberlain relieving. Victor Martinez, Gary Matthews Jr. and Dustin Pedroia, all set to make their postseason debuts.

Plus, for the first time in a while, there’s no clear-cut favorite.

“Nobody lost 100. Nobody won 100. So I think the whole league is a lot closer than maybe it used to be,” Boston manager Terry Francona said Monday, surveying the AL landscape.

And how’s this for a new look? Given a choice of which teams to feature in prime time, first-year TV outlet TBS picked the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs, rather than the Yankees.

It all begins Wednesday afternoon, with Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia hosting its first postseason game. The Phillies took advantage of the New York Mets’ historic collapse to make their first playoff appearance since 1993.
