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.
