I believe the Necco baseballs were either gum or candy shaped like a baseball with sayings on them much like the sweethearts. All of the mom and pop stores in and around Boston carried most of their products. I remember seeing Skybars, Clark bars, Mary Janes, Banana Split candy and of course the teethwrecker Necco Wafers. The company had its headquarters on Mass Ave in Cambridge near MIT. Their smokestack was painted like a roll of Necco wafers. They also made mini baseball pennants with team names on them.
