There really is no need to wear a helmet if you're just watching. Foul balls do sometimes pop over fences, but most parks have nets and it is unlikely you will get hit by a ball.
If you are playing, it is necessary to wear a helmet while batting.

Chin straps come in handy by securing a helmet to the head. The are used for baseball helmets, football helmets, combat helmets, hockey helmets, and motorcycle helmets.

Full face snowmobile helmets and motorcycle helmets both protect the riders head and face from injury and the elements and can be used interchangeably. The only difference is that some snowmobile helmets have a breath box to keep the face shield from fogging up. I got my helmet from rideinstylehelmets.com.

if you're talking about comparing it to football helmets: EVERYTHING. Its lighter; there's more room; little, but enough padding inside; there is plastic at the bottom of the facemask. It just protects your head enough since you arent charging head first at anyone. Its also illegal in lax to go head first into anyone for any reason. if youre taling about bike or motorcross helmets: look for yourself :P
Batting helmets.
Razor helmets fit heads between 21.5 and 23 inches and are adjustable using the chin strap. They are generally meant for children between the ages of eight and fourteen.
