Diamond or gridiron
A ball game is any game played with a ball—baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and so on.
In American usage, ball game often means baseball specifically: Let's go to the ball game.
The phrase a whole new ball game or a different ball game means a fundamentally changed situation: Once lawyers got involved, it was a whole new ball game.
