Bocce Ball comes to mind, a gret lawn/yard game dating back to the Roman Empire. The current game as we know it was developed in Italy.

Polo is a fairly popular sport in south Florida, and I believe polo pretty much has clubs throughout North and South America. I don't know how widespread Cricket is, but due to the Caribbean influence in south Florida it's somewhat popular down here also.
Zorbing Ball isn't nearly as popular here though.

Cricket is quite popular outside of North America, much like soccer.

I know. Football. It's not popular because I "almost" never watch it.

I used to watch Jai Alai when I was stationed in Newport, RI. It might not be popular, but it was pretty entertaining the few times I saw it.

I give my friend some obscure balls for her birthday. I've been gone all day. Seriously, one of you guys couldn't pick up the slack and quote Charles like this? Dude, if you want to give her unpopular balls....oh Gawd, do I even need to say it?
