There's a certain amount of sense to this decision. Not letting them play ball would also penalize their teammates, and their fans.

It was basically a prank, with tragic consequences.

What an absolutely stupid justification. You wanna know what would have been good for the team and fans? A severe object lesson that people pay consequences for reckless behavior, and that the consequences strike EVERYONE around them. Don't want your team and fans to suffer? Don't be stupid, reckless, short-sighted and self-absorbed. IOW, do what you're supposed to do in HS. Grow up.

What a BS excuse. By that "logic", no judge could ever send anyone to jail because their absence would have bad effects on spouses, co-workers, etc.
