          ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels have finally emerged from their northern neighbors' shadow.

          The Dodgers, beset by ownership turmoil and worries about fan safety at their stadium, completed their home schedule Thursday night with a total of 2,935,139 fans.

          The Angels have four more home dates and have already drawn 3,006,670 fans, according to the team.
