Gravity on basketball on the Moon, you'd need a hoop that's 60 feet (20 meters) high. You'd also need to move the three-point line about 100 feet back.

Even the great players like Andy Roddick couldn't handle a game of tennis on a moon rock court. Lunar gravity would mean the ball would get smoked out of the court every time someone served!

Guys like A-Rod would be cranking balls way further than the average home run at Wrigley Field or Fenway Park. A ball hit 385 feet (130 meters) on Earth usually stays in the air for about five seconds. That same ball hit on the moon would go nearly 900 feet (300 meters) and stay in the air for more than 20 seconds. Some batters would be able to hit the ball, circle the bases, then watch from the dugout as the ball leaves the park!
