| Up for grabs |
| Live, as a ball |
| Like a live ball |
| Alive, to players |
| Unlike a dead ball |
| Under consideration |
| Part of the picture |
| Live, as a football |
| Live, as a fair ball |
| Live, as a game ball |
| Between the foul lines |
| Live, as a batted ball |
| Not dead, as a football |
| Like a football, at times |
| Like catchable foul balls |
| Up for grabs, politically |
| Not out-of-bounds, as a ball |
| Like balls used during a game |
| Needing to be fielded, as a baseball |
| Up for grabs, as convention delegates |
| Like a fair ball as opposed to a foul ball |
