can't speak for other ball sports, but I'm pretty sure bowling 
started out with rolling a stone toward a club target.

American football descended from Rugby, which originated at the Rugby 
school in England.  (I'm sure most sports fans already knew that.)

I found this website about sports in Ancient Rome, which I thought 
was pretty cool:

Still don't know how they made balls back then in the first place.  
Probably animal bladders inflated.  Human skulls seems fairly 
unlikely.
