Introduction:
'Welcome, sports fans, to another Cabalvision first! I'm Jim Johnson...'
'And I'm... confused, Jim. What's with all these books?'
'Oh, these? Why, Bob, these weighty tomes were provided to us courtesy of the Collegia Cantabrigia! These will be given to the teams competing today! Who knows? Maybe one or two of the players will be able to read them!'
'I can't see what good this will be to them, Jim. I'm not one for hittin' the books. I'm more for hittin' the pitch!'
'But Bob, knowledge is power. The teams here today will find that out soon enough! With that in mind, let the games begin!'
