Very Brief History of Bocce Ball: This physically demanding sport traces its roots back to 5200 B.C., right around the time our very own Larry Howard was born. While it has evolved over the millennia, Bocce Ball owes an infinite debt of gratitude to its greatest patron, Leonardo da Vinci, who, when not being a Renaissance man, played Bocce incessantly whlist tossing down shots of Malort.
