Counting Anniversaries

465 viewsMathematicsOther

The Kannapolis Cannonballlers (milb team) are celebrating their 30th year, but they started in 1995. 2024 – 1995 = 29, not 30. Sometimes they say it’s their 30th year, other times they say it’s their 30th anniversary, but I think those are different things. My first wedding anniversary was a year after my marriage, but idk if they’re counting the beginning or end of their season, but I still think they’re off by (at least) one. Am I crazy?

P.S. FWIW, Were currently in the middle of the season

2024-1995 does equal 29. But, by choosing 1995, you’re effectively disregarding their first year. 2024-(year before inception)1994 = 30 years. As others have said, an off-by-one error.
