If Hitler had played more sports, history would have been different, but I understand that Hitler had only got one ball.

@Kornykornman4444: playground ball will be accepted, but dodgeball uses various types of balls (generally foam ones) so it would not be acceptable for this one.

According to the official dodgeball rules: "The official ball used in tournament and league play will be an 8.25" rubber-coated foam ball." Therefore, dodgeball will be accepted. I honestly never realized those rubber-coated balls are made with foam.

@thedpr: Kickball is already accepted. Billiards was acceptable, but billiard is now accepted as well. @BJack: Table tennis is now accepted. Thanks. @bsg0102: Exercise ball is not specific enough. Generally an exercise ball is the elastic 1-3 foot diameter ball (sometimes known as a Swedish ball).

Can #6 please accept 'American football'? No one in the UK refers to it as just a 'football'.

Curse you letter C in racquet! But I would like to request the alternate "racketball" be accepted. (Also I would like to thank you for not making any Arrested Development references, which is what immediately came to mind from the quiz title.)

Maybe accept "squash ball" for the racquetball picture.

I'm with jgizow44. Whiffle balls have slots, not round holes.

Those're the pictures? Those're balls! When you see balls close up they always look like landscape. Those're balls.

Accept "handball" for racquetball. That's in reference to American handball not Team/European handball.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiffle_ball. Wiffle balls have "oblong" holes. #4 is not a wiffle ball, so this quiz gets one globe.

I've got to agree on the whole wiffleball issue. The official wiffleballs that are sold in the famous boxes and/or with the yellow bat have slots. Quiz was good otherwise though.

No way is #4 a wiffleball. And oh, and by the way, I was wiffleball champion of our block 4 years running, so I know what I'm talking about. :)

Ok, the wiffle ball debate is over. Although the round-hole wiffle ball is 100% wiffle ball, I have changed the image to the professional, oblong-hole wiffle ball.

#7 looks like what I grew up calling a "four square ball"—if it's meant to be the same as a "playground ball," maybe that should be an alternative.

For the wiffleball, it turns out my issue was with the original image. I couldn't tell that the holes were actually holes; they looked like indentations. In the new image it's easier to tell there are actual holes. To me, the shape of the holes is not a determining factor, but its gotta have holes.
