why BuckyBalls exhibit coherence and baseballs don't?


My guess would be the difference in relative size of the object as compared to its wavelength.

A baseball is so much larger than its wavelength (except possibly when its momentum is zero to a huge number of digits precision?) that its wavelike properties (including uncertainties such as position vs. momentum or energy vs. time) get swamped.
