Actually, a ball doesn't only last six pitches. If the batter has 3 balls, and 2 strikes, he can keep fouling the ball out as much as he wants to. This means that a ball can last much longer than six pitches, since fouling out counts as a strike, but only up to the second strike, so a ball can virtually last forever.
