The first-ever televised baseball game was on May 17, 1939, between Princeton and Columbia; Princeton beat Columbia 2-1 at Columbia's Baker Field. The contest was aired on W2XBS, an experimental station in New York City which would ultimately become WNBC-TV. The game was announced by Bill Stern

On August 26 of the same year, the first ever Major League Baseball game was televised (once again on W2XBS). With Red Barber announcing, the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds played a doubleheader at Ebbets Field.

Moon trees were grown from seeds taken to the moon by Stuart Roosa, Command Module pilot of the Apollo 14 mission of January 31, 1971. The effort included 400-500 seeds, which orbited the moon on the first few days of February 1971. NASA and the USFS wanted to see if being in space and in the moon's orbit would cause the seeds to grow differently than other seeds.

Moon cakes are made from the wheat grown from the moon seeds.

Just kidding. Moon cakes are made for the celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival which is at the end of the harvest. So the main fare is fruits, fruits and more fruits. Can't really understand how they managed to squeeze the moon into the festival.
