The ear piece that hangs down on one side is to protect them from a wild pitch. Since they stand sideways to the pitcher only one side of their head is in danger. Look at them the next game that you see. It is always on the side that faces the pitcher.

What is the function of the polo helmet?

A polo helmet serves to protect the player from being hit by a stick or ball in the head. It must also offer protection in case the player falls from his pony.A polo helmet can from the outside be confused extremely easily with a riding helmet, but must be able to withstand many hard hits, unlike an equestrian helmet which is designed for only a singly hit. In actual construction polo helmets are very similar to cricket batting helmets, except that they have much more protection at the back of the head.
