Stickers for [[Earnshaw-195|George Livingston Earnshaw (1900-1976)]]

Question

I will start with I am terrible with stickers, they never come out right for me.  1) Is there a sticker for Major League Baseball players or members of World Series winning teams.  George was a pitcher for the Philadelphia A's when they won the World Series in 1929 and 1930, maybe 1931.

2)  Would someone be able to check Fold 3 for the information needed for his World War II sticker.  Findagrave says:  "Long after his playing days, he earned the Bronze Star Medal as a World War II naval officer in the Pacific. He was awarded a commendation by Adm. Chester Nimitz for his exceptional ability and judgment as a gunnery officer on an Essex Class aircraft carrier during a strike on Truk on Apr. 29, 1944."

Thanks!
