Jim Evans and other MLB'ers wear long john underwear on hot days. Theory is the sweat wicks to the absorbent fabric and cools, thus cooling the skin. Did it once when I forgot the McD grays at home. Worked.

I wear McDavid long tights in hot weather. In cold (rare around here) I wear long cotton/poly underwear. In warm weather I wear McDavid shorts.
