Give the balls and a baseball bat to the kids next door to someone you don't like. Those things really fly when hit with a bat and do a lot of damage. The voice of experience here, had some around the house when I was a kid. :D

Well, you should do what our wives would like to do, and trade up for a set of new balls. If they have not been used for years, you may need to do some self-help. I suggest playboy.com for a start.

I know, I know, but there is no way it took 3 whole posts for someone to post something like this, I had to pick up your slack.
 
You could give them away to a local dive with and old bar box. Goodness knows there are plenty of tables/accessories out there in need of an upgrade!

IF I LOOSE SLEEP TONIGHT over having that image in my head, YOU are going to drive to MA, and explain to my boss why I'm sleeping at my desk!!!

To steer this back on track, the give to charity idea is very nice. Also maybe use them in some artwork, inlay in a table (not in the top rails of course, along the edges maybe), see what happens to them if you take them to a firing range. Would a high-power rifle blast one into pieces? Would they crack, shatter, just have a dent in them? Use them as weights in a bag when you have to take care of some of your "associates" that can't keep their mouth shut so you are forced to knock them out, drag them to a bridge, and.. ooh.. wait, maybe that's just me that could use them for that.
 
IT'S CANNON TIME !!!

Get a 2 foot piece of thick wall 2 5/16" 2 3/8" tubing, a baseplate, something to use a wadding, something super combustible

then let your imagination soar like a delinquent eagle
 
Put them in a sock and whack anyone who does you wrong. JOKING!

ANd, along the line of the baseball bat, if you take a pool ball and throw it down on the sidewalk or parking lot, that sukka will bounce better than a superball!
 
I have an oversized martini glass that is about 12" tall and about 10" in diameter at the rim. I took an old set of faded, worn balls and put them in the glass and they are a tabletop decorating accessory in my basement/pool room.

...or have someone turn them down and make joint protectors out of them. There is a guy in my area that does this.

You didn't say what kind of balls they were. Old Brunswick balls, in good condition, may bring a good buck if you put them on ebay.

old aramith balls. i dont have plans on selling it, just wanted to recycle :)
 
Cut them in half with the number at the apex of each half. Then use them to make a couple of large billiard clocks with the hands resembling cue sticks.
