As STL sports fans struggle with the toll the coronavirus pandemic has taken on Cardinals baseball and Blues hockey, St. Louis Alderman Joe Vollmer has tossed another bombshell into the mix: For the first time in 30 years, the Milo's Bocce League will not be starting any time soon, if at all.

"We'd postponed the (April) start awhile back, but now we're just canceling it until further notice," said Vollmer, who with his wife, Sue, owns the 118-year-old Milo's Tavern at the corner of Wilson and Marconi avenues.
