Recall with distractions

My dog has decent recall except when a ball is involved. He will not listen for any treats if he sees someone throw a ball at the park. Is there anything I can do or do I just have to accept this lol. I don’t mind if he plays but occasionally there is a time I need him to listen (I.e. when I can tell other owner is getting annoyed). He also will sometimes jump for the ball if someone holds it out in front of him for awhile. I have trained him to sit when I throw it, but he tries to sit for others and when it doesn’t work he jumps.
