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

So the Kannapolis Cannonballers started in 1995. That was their first season, their first year playing. Let’s suppose their greatest fan, Canny Kananza, was born that very year.
In 1996, Canny turns 1, celebrates her 1st birthday. But this is the Cannonballers’ second year playing. Their first year was 1995.
In 1997, the Cannonballers take to the field for their third year (the first two were 1995 and 1996). Canny is, of course, celebrating her 2nd birthday.
And so it goes on. Canny’s age is always one less than the “year” the Cannonballers are playing – because, in 1995, Canny’s age started at 0, and the Cannonballer’s “years” started at 1.
