It's May on the calendar and that means Prom season has finally arrived. It's all so familiar, the expensive tuxes, the cummerbunds, and the night that almost always ends in complete disappointment (see: blue balls). With the real "big dance" coming up we thought it important to see pre-money, pre-fame athletes suffering the same awkward, sometimes humiliating life stages we all went through. So feast your eyes on this batch of pubescent future millionaires before they became targets for groupies, gold diggers, and jealous boyfriends alike. Guys like Mark Sanchez and Alex Smith are rocking the the Prom King crowns and dudes like Derek jeter and Tiger Woods prove that they've never changed. Check out, Your Favorite Athlete's Prom Pictures.

Cardboard Tebow

If she grows up to be an artist people will reflect on this moment as evidence of her blossoming free spirit. If she grows up to be a secretary people will reflect on this moment with great sadness and embarrassment.
