Disagree here. For ballplayers, there are plenty more baseball games and practices than one senior prom in their lifetime. From my experience, many of these ballplayers would rather have that day off and go to the prom with their date. The only ones who'd rather play ball can't get a prom date. The prom only comes around once for these kids and they don't want to miss it.
Scheduling ballgames on prom days makes no sense at all and is too much distraction for these kids. Some flexibility in the schedule should be in place so that games can be rescheduled if possible.
