Roy Halladay has spent plenty of Octobers at home, wishing for this opportunity.

Halladay has been to seven All-Star games, won a Cy Young Award, pitched a perfect game and compiled an impressive resume over his 13-year career. But the one thing he hasn't crossed off his to-do list is pitch in a postseason game.

Until now.

Halladay will take the ball when the Philadelphia Phillies host the Cincinnati Reds in Game 1 of their NL division series on Wednesday.

Edinson Volquez will start for the NL Central champion Reds, who are in the playoffs for the first time since 1995. Volquez came back from right elbow surgery and went 4-3 with a 4.31 ERA in 12 starts.
