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

Your first birthday is the start of your second year. If you’re born on January 1st 2000, 1/1/2021 is your first birthday, but your second January 1st, the start of your second year. Birthdays and anniversaries mark the completion of the period, not the start. In your example, it’s their 29th anniversary, but their 30th season, it’s easier to celebrate the 30th season all season long, and not just at the completion once it’s over.
