I’m 19 now and my parents are divorced. My mom has these baseballs and she lives in a different state. Can I take legal action about this?

If you actually own baseballs that you obtained years ago and your mother refuses to give them to you now that you are an adult, the best way to try and resolve the situation is for you to write her a letter requesting them keeping a copy for future use.
If she refuses to return them to you, you have a basis for bringing a legal action against her for their return. Such an action would be a claim for "specific performance". Unfortunately in most states in this country, one cannot bring a specific performance action in small claims court.
