WWE color commentator Matthew Polinsky, who goes by the ring name of Corey Graves, recently expressed his love for all things baseball.

In a podcast with Jared Carrabis for the show Baseball is Dead (BID), Graves expressed his love for the stadium in Pittsburgh and the atmosphere during Pittsburgh Pirates games.

Corey Graves' official Instagram account is proof enough of his love and dedication towards Pittsburgh.

Graves expressed on the podcast how he is not a pro at understanding baseball statistics and the minute details of the game, but still gains immense happiness from watching the sport.

On Thursday, the Pittsburgh Pirates and Los Angeles Dodgers wrapped up their series. The Pirates defeated the Dodgers 6-2 and are now preparing to meet the Washington Nationals for a three-game series.

On the podcast, Corey Graves also praised Drew Maggi for his recent performance. Maggi has chased his dream of playing in the MLB for several years. After 13 years of playing with the minors, he finally got a chance to make his debut in the MLB with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Maggi has 45 home runs, 354 RBIs, 589 runs and 222 stolen bases throughout his minor league career.
