nah, the object in this sentence would be the ball. Whom would be the indirect object in the sentence.
You (subject) gave the ball (object) to him (ind. object).
Whom (I think) is used when you are asking about and indirect object or a question asking by, with, from.
Example:
By whom, with whom, from whom, to whom, for whom.

When you are asking about a regular subject or object "who" is used.
Who are you? (who is subject)
Who did you see that day? (who is dir. object)

Whom is not a good or bad word, it's just a grammatical case of the interrogative pronoun.
