John: I don't know the name of the game you describe, but in Chicago,
we played for hours and hours a game called 500. We played with a 16
inch softball--the famous--or more accurately--the infamous 16 inch
Clincher--16 inches of hard rock in the shape of a ball.
I don't know if sixteen inches is an accurate circumference
measurement of the Chicago Clincher balls. The diameter appears to
be closer to seven inches. They're pretty substantial. And hard as a
rock when new.

To clarify:
Major league baseball is played with a hardball, probably a 6 inch
circumference.
Softball is played with a 12 inch or 16 inch ball.
