ANAHEIM -- Anne Fleck, her husband and their two daughters have made the roughly 10-mile trip from Yorba Linda to Anaheim countless times throughout their lives. They grew up, as a family, on trips to Angel Stadium. Now, one daughter, Ashley Fleck, is a sponsorship services coordinator for the club. The Angels have been, and literally are, family to the elder Fleck, who is affectionately referred to as Momma Anne by loved ones.
It is that Angels family that was a part of her support system when, last August, after a routine mammogram, Momma Anne discovered she had breast cancer.
