Hey wonderful learners, people are so last week, this week we are going to solve our first “What am I?” here are the clues:

What am I?

Some fun facts about me:

A man named Abner Doubleday started me.

I call myself “worldly” but only North Americans are involved.

Some people believe that there was a curse about me, but it was broken in 2004.

Americans compete against nationals.

Do the math to find out the year.

(2593-1334) +(950+X=1250)+(864+92)-(424+188)= My year.

These students have won an ice cream party this Wednesday during afternoon recess for guessing three out of four correct answers to the Who am I? for the first month. Congratulations.
