The B.O.A.R.D.: The craziest game of October shakes up the rankings

Each October, the MLB postseason belongs to someone or something. Whether it's the Rally Monkey in 2002, Daniel Murphy in 2015 or David Ross last year, October is always dominated by a particular force. With so much good baseball packed into one month, it's sometimes tough to follow all the madness, so we created the Baseball October Arbitrary Rankings Device (The B.O.A.R.D.) to keep track of it all.
In an October that has already given us memorable highlights and shocking results aplenty, Game 2 of the World Series presented by YouTube TV took this postseason to a whole new level.
Wednesday's clash between the Astros and Dodgers was an instant classic, featuring extra innings, bat flips (and bat placements) and, most notably, eight dramatic dingers. Ultimately, Houston prevailed, 7-6, with George Springer's two-run dinger in the top of the 11th making the difference. 

So many different players had signature moments in Game 2 that it is difficult to pinpoint just one guy as the standout from this classic October game. But that's exactly why we have the B.O.A.R.D.!
We decided to wipe the B.O.A.R.D. clean and properly honor the true stars of World Series Game 2. With so many guys to choose from, who ended up on top? Check out the clip above to find out.
