Jay Buhner must thank his lucky stars that George Steinbrenner traded him.

If he had stayed with the Yankees, of course, Buhner wouldn't have gotten to play alongside Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. for over a decade. He became a star with the Seattle Mariners and made the cover of Sports Illustrated's March 18, 1996 issue, alongside his then 2-year-old son, Chase.

Twenty years later to the day, Jay and Chase Buhner recreated their memorable photo.

Let's see Ken Phelps and his son try and pose like that.
