After the Cubs won Game 7 of the World Series, the spikes that Kris Bryant wore were auctioned off. The winner of that auction was Chicago restaurateur (and avid Chicago sports fan) Grant DePorter, who paid a small fee of $35, 000 for the pair of shoes.
While that could be a story in and of itself, the real story lies in what DePorter noticed on the NL MVP’s cleats.
Dirt.
The dirt itself is not necessarily what was weird about this set of shoes, it was the images that DePorter and his buddies noticed within the dirt that led them to believe there was some “divine intervention” during Game 7 of the World Series.
