BITS OF EVERYTHING packed into postseason.

NEW YORK — Hours after the final out, there was only one job left to do at empty Citi Field.

So the last person remaining on the dimly lit diamond climbed into the shiny red Camaro presented to MVP Salvador Perez, turned the ignition and slowly drove along the warning track.

A moment later, the gleaming taillights disappeared through a gap in the left-center field wall.

The World Series was over.

Hard to believe a packed postseason began almost a month earlier, a few miles away at Yankee Stadium with a gem by bearded Dallas Keuchel (Arkansas Razorbacks), one of baseball’s many bright, new stars.

In between, there sure was a lot for fans to savor and second-guess.

A final look back before it’s time to move ahead, with only 108 days until the first workouts of spring training:

BAUTISTA’S BAT TOSS

To call it a bat flip would be a disservice to Jose Bautista.

In the midst of mayhem in Toronto, he sent his bat flying after hitting a home run against Texas during the deciding Game 5 of the American League division series. It was one of the most crazy, emotional innings in big league history — the seventh at Rogers Centre included two bench-clearing scuffles, fans throwing debris, police on the field and errors on three consecutive balls.

And it all started when Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin hit Shin-Soo Choo’s bat on a routine throw back to the pitcher, letting a run score and prompting an umpires’ conference.

UTLEY’S SLIDE

Hard-nosed or dirty, worthy a suspension or not. No matter, the damage was done. Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada took a huge hit, as did Chase Utley’s popularity.

Tejada’s leg was broken and he spent his birthday on crutches, watching his team play in the World Series.

Utley drew a two-game penalty for the crash in the National League division series and appealed. A hearing might not be held until spring training.

By then, Major League Baseball could have a new rule on how runners slide into bases. Merely being able to reach the base might not be the standard much longer.

SCHWARBER’S SHOT

The ballhawks roaming outside Wrigley Field are still waiting for Kyle Schwarber’s home run to land.

The Chicago rookie launched a drive against St. Louis in the NLDS that landed atop the videoboard in right field and stayed there.

The Cubs made it a moment to remember on the spot, encasing the ball in Plexiglas.

Schwarber, 22, who began the season in Class AA, is among a new crop of guys with great futures who were on display in October and into November, joining the likes of Carlos Correa, Kris Bryant, Noah Syndergaard and many more.

MURPHY’S LAW

Hard to imagine a player making a faster rise and a more rapid fall than Daniel Murphy. A contact hitter his whole career, he became a modern-day Babe Ruth by homering in a postseason-record six consecutive games, connecting off the likes of Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke and Jake Arrieta. But just when his value as a free agent-to-be was booming, he hit a wall.

The Mets second baseman managed only three singles in the World Series, and the lasting image of him in a New York uniform could be groundballs bouncing under his glove and off his mitt.

ROYALS’ FOUL APPROACH

A liner over the dugout by Ben Zobrist. A tip to the backstop by Alex Gordon. A nubber that nicks the catcher by Lorenzo Cain. Really, has any team turned foul balls into an art like the Royals?

Not that they are trying to spoil pitches or prolong at-bats. Yet at a time when many teams preach patience at the plate and seemingly accept higher strikeout rates, Alcides Escobar and his teammates go up there swinging early and making contact.

“Don’t strike out,” said Hall of Famer George Brett, now a Royals executive.

“Imagine that? What a concept. Put the ball in play, good things happen. Strike out, nothing good happens.”
