ATLANTA — Gregory K. Murrey was a small-business owner, father and grandfather who enjoyed seeing a local blues band and the Atlanta Braves, for whom he had been a season-ticket holder for 23 years. His passion for his hometown baseball team was evident Saturday night as Murrey, 60, wearing a Braves cap, sat with two companions in the second row of the upper deck at Turner Field.
The area around them was heavily populated by Yankees fans, whose cheering did not seem to sit well with Murrey, according to two of the fans seated around him.
