More than 40 years ago, Sixers small forward Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Eagles quarterback Ron “Jaws” Jaworski, Flyers goaltender Pete Peeters and Phillies reliever Tug McGraw posed for a photo at the Art Museum for a January 1981 magazine shoot.
It’s an iconic image that celebrates a season in which all four major Philadelphia sports teams reached the finals in their respective sport. For years, fans have clamored for current sports stars at the time to recreate the photo.
Phillies star right fielder Bryce Harper is down to represent the Phillies in a possible next generation redux of the photo.
