Good catch Ken, SOFTBALL is another one I was thinking of. I hadn't thought of 
the carnival game, but you're right it was probably a variation of the "knock 
the milk bottles over" game; however no one mentions the game, so I had not 
counted it. 

Regarding footballs, the official rules of the NFL call a football a ball, and 
that's good enough for me. I never specified that the balls had to be 
spherical, after all. 

I'm thinking of still three more games or sports mentioned on TAGS which 
require a ball. 

Here are some more hints: one is a sport that men (and less often, women) have 
participated in for centuries, right up to the present day. Two hundred years 
ago a ball was always required for this sport, but nowadays few participants in 
this sport use balls. That may not be very helpful but I don't want to just 
give away the answer. 

More hints: one is sort of a variation of baseball (not cricket) and one was 
played by a Mayberryite with a relative, out of town.
