To try to keep their muscles warm to help avoid muscle pulls.

How would YOU know????
But in all honesty a mixture of what everyone has said already, in work out's it's to hide your skinniness, it keeps your body warm to avoid muscle pulls, to sweat more for better conditioning, and because if there is a lot of sitting and talking to coaches or watching plays it can get cold.

Probabley to cover up the herion track marks.
Best thread ever. Tell me, should we all make threads about every little random sports related thing that pops into our heads? I didn't realize we were operating in that manner here. Fair enough. Gotta' go though, great thread idea just came to me...

so they can sweat more in a shorter period of time to make it look like they are working harder than they really are thus allowing them to probably get let out of practice early, lol, just a theory.

The long sleeves keep the sweat from evaporating as quickly, thus actually keeping your body cooler.

Some people prefer long sleeves. David Beckham wears long sleeves during outdoor games in the intense heat. The best bowler in the NBA is Damon Jones. I heard that he's really good.

You're kidding right? Heat is lost with sweat when it evaporates, ergo cooling.
But I'm just going to assume you were kidding.
