In combination, a bocce ball game caddy with a pallina ball and eight bocce balls, the caddy, comprising:
- a frame having laterally spaced posts extending substantially vertically upward from a base, said base comprising a pair of legs extending fore and aft of said posts with one end of said pair of legs supporting wheels such that the caddy is rollable in said fore or aft direction;
- a pallina rack supported by said posts and having a pallina retainer sized to securely yet removably receive the pallina;
- a plurality of vertically spaced bocce ball racks supported by said posts, each bocce ball rack supporting bocce ball retainers, each bocce ball retainer sized and spaced horizontally and vertically on said racks from adjacent ones of said bocce ball retainers such that each of the bocce balls is securely yet independently removably received within one of said bocce ball retainers without interference with an adjacent one of the bocce balls;
- said pallina retainer spaced with respect to said bocce ball retainers such that the pallina is independently removably received within said pallina retainer without interference with the bocce balls received within the bocce ball retainers.
In combination, a bocce ball game caddy with a pallina ball and eight bocce balls, the caddy, comprising:
- a frame having laterally spaced posts extending substantially vertically upward from a base, said base comprising a pair of legs extending fore and aft of said posts with one end of said pair of legs supporting wheels such that the caddy is rollable in said fore or aft direction;
- a pallina rack supported by said posts and having a pallina retainer, said pallina retainer having a bottom segment, a back segment and a top segment which define a convex interior volume which is slightly larger than the pallina;
- a plurality of vertically spaced bocce ball racks supported by said posts, each bocce ball rack supporting bocce ball retainers, each of said bocce ball retainers spaced horizontally and vertically on said racks from adjacent ones of said bocce ball retainers such that each of the bocce balls is securely yet independently removably received within one of said bocce ball retainers without interference with an adjacent one of the bocce balls, each of said bocce ball retainers having a bottom segment, a back segment and a top segment which define a convex interior volume which is slightly larger than the bocce balls;
- said pallina retainer spaced with respect to said bocce ball retainers such that the pallina is independently removably received within said pallina retainer without interference with the bocce balls received within the bocce ball retainers.
In combination, a bocce ball game caddy with a pallina ball and at least eight bocce balls, the caddy, comprising:
- a frame having laterally spaced posts extending substantially vertically upward from a base, said base comprising a pair of legs extending fore and aft of said posts with one end of said pair of legs supporting wheels such that the caddy is rollable in said fore or aft direction;
- a pallina retainer operably supported by said frame, said pallina retainer sized to securely yet removably receive the pallina;
- bocce ball retainers operably supported by said frame, each one of said bocce ball retainers sized and spaced horizontally and vertically from an adjacent one of said bocce ball retainers such that each of the bocce balls is securely yet independently removably received within one of said bocce ball retainers without interference with an adjacent one of the bocce balls;
- said pallina retainer spaced with respect to said bocce ball retainers such that the pallina is independently removably received within said pallina retainer without interference with the bocce balls received within the bocce ball retainers.
