Those marks are eye black, used for bringing down the severity of the glare of the sun or the lights.

They reflect light coming from above, including:
Lights in the stadium (Night games)
Sunlight (Most west coast teams have to deal with this, different sun angles and intensities)

it's supposed to help block their eyes from the sun's reflection... Not sure why they wear it when it rains though!!
