Tens of thousands of hungry Cheyenne Frontier Days visitors from all over the world are expected to descend on the Depot Plaza next Monday, Wednesday and Friday to feast on free flapjacks.

The single-day record was registered during the Wednesday, July 24, 1996, feeding frenzy, where 16,897 people were served. The weekly record was broken that same year, when 39,111 were fed in a combined serving time of eight hours and ten minutes.

Historians of baseball often argue over how Major League Baseball should be divided into different eras based on trends in the sport.
