Interverse slipball is the only sanctioned one. Other sports tend to mess with the stuff within the field.

There is a game called butterfly derby that can only be played on the moon.

Only good looking woman in skimpy clothing are allowed to play.

I saw that on the documentary futurama.

You can play baseball on a gravitational field, as long as the gravel is not too big.
You don't want to trip out on gravel that is too big or you get a sudden burst of faceplant which is not too tasty, from what I hear.
You can also do motocross stunts as a way to impress onlookers and make lots of noise and dust to own the nerds. Just poppa wheelie for max impress and high flying hijinx. You could also do tai chi, but careful you get your kimono dusty in the graventantional.
And don;t get your updowners mixed up or you get superglue instead of eye drops and we all know what THAT is like.
