I don't understand how to properly call the BaseBall method.

What method? Your classes don't have any methods. They have constructors, and you already call that one on line 34 (new BaseBall()). After that the object is constructed and you can't call the constructor on it anymore.

here there are no methods named BaseBall. You are trying to call a constructor which is not possible....

. . . and it would be a bad idea to write a method that looks so similar to a constructor.
