This is not as elegant a solution, but...

If you were on a planet with just the right mass and diameter, you're hardest throw in the right direction would allow the ball to orbit the planet once (or twice, etc. depending on the constants just mentioned).

and it would be helpful because you would have no friends to play with you because you know these things. joking

just throw the ball straight up in the air!!!! it will come back to you with out hitting anything or someone else catching it and throwing it back unless you count god and his gravity as catching it and throwing it back......

All you would have to do is throw the damn thing straight up in the air, or for those of you nerds that want to get tecnical, at the right degree, that it would reach its max then come straight back to you

I can't believe this puzzle of ALL PUZZLES out there has sparked and interplanetary debate on the laws of physics of other planets as well as whether or not "rolling" a ball constitutes "throwing" a ball, and if rolling can also be throwing is it's initial connection count as hitting the ground. this was a simple puzzle with 2 simple answers.

It was thrown in the air. or it was blasted off into space thrown into a black hole and caught by the original thrower 80 years later when an earthquake on mars (a marsquake) causes a space time tear in central WI where the former "space pitcher" lives out his lush retirement and he happened to have his hand cupped in the receiving-of-a-ball form while drinking a glass of milk.

I can't believe this brain teaser became an interplanetary debate on the physics of other plantes. Nor can i believe that redefining "throw" as roll, or hoping that if the ball is rolled across the ground but doesn't bounce that it doesn't count as connecting.

this puzzle has 2 OBVIOUS solutions the first is the ball was thrown in the air.

The other naturally is that the ball was blasted off into space and thrown into a black hole, assuming of course that an object in space will continue at the same velocity and direction until impeded, The ball was caught 80 years later by that same man/woman that threw it when an earthquake on mars (marsquake?) caused a space time tear in central WI where he she sat with their hand in the ready-to-recieve-ball-form while drinking a tall glass of milk.

Psh! Do not count on earth's gravity to bring it back for you, that is weak! Be a man! Go out to the middle of space where your OWN gravity will RULE and throw that damn ball! It will come back to YOU! Not earth! >=D
