Toilet should be pulled up, turned upside down and then try to get the ball pushed back the way it entered.

If the shop vac doesn't work, I'd pull the toilet back up and run the toilet auger up from the bottom of the bowl. That would pop the ball right out.

What surprises me is that the toilet was put back on with the rubber ball still stuck in it. It certainly will not handle any solids with a rubber ball stuck in it.
