The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 13px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 88%
- The share of usable picture detail that can be matched between the left and right views. A higher number means a more reliable comparison.
- Vertical
- 2px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.
Joe Brown leans over a ballpark barrier and points toward the camera beside a smiling player in a pinstriped Cubs uniform. The player’s cap bears a “C,” and “Cubs” appears across his jersey. Spectators in suits, coats, and brimmed hats crowd the seats behind them; a hinged wire-mesh gate fills the lower foreground.
The printed caption identifies Brown as a comedian and names the player as “Lou Warnake, Cub Pitcher.” Its opening line, “Step In and Stop Them Fellers!”, supplies a comic explanation for Brown’s gesture. The caption places the scene at the fourth game of the 1932 World Series in Chicago, Illinois; it does not name the ballpark.
