Even if this were true, I would not care, but What is the baseball team ranked?

At the start of time, the first 365 days occurred in the 1st year; BUT we don’t acknowledge COMPLETION of the year until the 366th day.
So, that time span, while being IN the 1st year would be called “Year 0”.
Years are measurements of the passage of time. The standard is Year 1 AD STARTED with the birth of Jesus Christ. That year is not considered year 0 by any historian in Western Europe or the Americas. Now many wishing to avoid any connection to Jesus Christ and AD (Anno Domini = Year of Our Lord) designate it 1 CE (Common Era), yet they mark its beginning with the birth of Jesus Christ (major fail on their part).
None of this time discussion matters, because there is no such thing as time. Read the circuitous definitions of "time" and "indefinite". Each term is used to define the other. The same circuitous logic is found in the definitions of "time" and of "progress". That is because no one can accurately describe "time", and that is because it doesn't exist. It was created in the imagination of human beings. It is a dimensionless parameter. Once you realize time is a figment of man's imagination, then it's easy to understand how God (if you are a theist or deist) and the Universe "always" existed. "Always" is a redundant, meaningless adverb in this context; existence is the only objective reality with regards to God and to the Universe..

It's not really logic. It's math unless the 1st decade after the birth of our Lord only had 9 years.
Decade------ 10.
Decade------ 10.

A decade could actually refer to any 10-year period. But, as far as the calendar is concerned, the year starting with the birth of our Lord, was year 1. The first decade from that point would be years 1-10, unless of course, the first decade AD only had 9 years,

Centuries and decades really start in years ending with a 1, due to the fact that there was never a year 0. The first decade AD was the years 1-10, the second decade was AD 11-20, etc.
But most people incorrectly believe that decades start in the year ending with 0.
