It's fucking hard to say. Depth perception is all but lost in 2D images. If you look at the little girl, she appears to be staring at the bat too.

It does not appear that people are staring at the man in green shirt, but it does appear that many of them are staring at the bat.
The bat is still in the air.
what about the small shadow directly under the bat on the dude's shirt?
it appears, given the shadows in the rest of the picture, that the shadow is coming from the bat, and hence is incredibly close to him (aka hitting him in the face)

unless hes already had massive reconstructive surgery on his right jaw then its stretched and off kilter by enough to warrant it.
Or hes getting hit in the face with a baseball bat.
He looks otherwise normal. My theory is on option 3

Besides, his body language does not appear to be that of a man who's being hit squarely in the jaw by the bat. Probably the camera caught a dynamic moment when perhaps he was eating something. It's hard to say. But I don't think the man took the hit. Interpreting 2-D images of dynamic 3-D events can be tricky.
He's actually sitting in the row behind her.

i think there's another picture of something like this happening - either a baseball bat or a ball flying at a bunch of people. Except in that picture, there's some guy sitting in the back just smiling and watching it's hilarious. Anyone have that one?
edit:
here it is!
WTF is that small girl doing in the middle of the pic?

I like the red-haired girl at the bottom of the picture more. She looks completely oblivious to the fact that there's a swirling baseball bat careening towards the crowd at 65mph mere feet away from her.
I'm sure that, wherever Darwin is, he was on the edge of his seat with an "I told ya so!" ready.
The mere proposition that Darwin would possess an objective viewpoint from some pseudo-religious after-world may or may not be ironic...
