Which Sport Has the Most Balls?

With the NBA Playoffs going on, I've noticed a lot of NBA teams feel the need to have a basketball incorporated into their logo, which got me thinking – I wonder how prevalent that is across all sports. My guess was that baseball, being the oldest and most traditional sport, would have the most logos with the sport's ball involved. When I think of a sports logo that involves the ball, I thi...
