I really cannot tell from your photo's, but, does it look like the stone is composed of a Granite material?

Would you need a closer pic? It’s wet from washing off dirt, and there are some scrapes from the plow.

That would suck if I opened it and it wasn’t a geode? But so cool if it was.

The did use stone balls in certain types of mining. The balls were of varying sizes from mini ball size up to cannon ball size. There was a post earlier this year either here or on a news feed that gave the history of them.

Rocks can also weather into that shape naturally. Refer to "Spheroidal weathering".
