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

The Xth anniversary is a celebration of the completion of the Xth year of something.
You celebrate your 1st wedding anniversary when you have completed your 1st year of marriage. You celebrate your 1st birthday when you have completed your 1st year of life.
So in your example, the team celebrated their 29th anniversary this year, which begins their 30th year/season as a team. When that year concludes next year in 2025, they will celebrate their 30th anniversary.
