Why do MLB players wear helmets with only one ear flap?
Major League Baseball (MLB) players wear helmets with only one ear flap for better hearing. The single ear flap allows players to hear the sounds of the game, such as the crack of the bat or the umpire's calls, more clearly. This can give them an advantage in the field, as they can react to the game more quickly and effectively. Additionally, the single ear flap helps to keep the helmet from being too bulky or heavy, which can be important for players who are wearing it for several hours at a time.
