A ball hitch connector apparatus adapted for use with a conventional ball hitch socket is provided. The ball hitch connector has a lower support base with an upwardly extending stub shaft portion. A bore extends inwardly from an outer surface of the stub shaft. The connector also includes a generally spherical body with a bore extending upward from a bottom surface with the bore being adapted to receive the stub shaft portion of said support base. The spherical body also has a transverse bore extending inward from an outer surface of the spherical body so as to be in communication with the vertical bore. The transverse bore is positioned within the spherical body so that when the stub shaft portion is inserted into the vertical bore of the spherical body, the spherical body may rotated to angularly align the bore of the stub shaft portion and the transverse bore of the spherical body. The connector also has a latch pin configured to be slidably received in the bore of the stub shaft portion and the transverse bore of the spherical body to retain the spherical body on the stub shaft portion when the stub shaft portion is positioned on the spherical body. A retention ring is movably mounted in the spherical body and selectively engages the latch pin to prevent withdrawal of the latch pin from the spherical body.
