Baldinger was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Always big, strong and athletic for his age, Baldinger spent much of his youth playing a variety of sports in and around Cherry Hill, New Jersey. His family later moved to Apple Valley, Minnesota, then Massapequa, New York where he and his brothers became well-known locally as they continued to excel in sports. He played high school football at Massapequa High School, and lifeguarded at Tobay Beach during summers.

After high school he joined the Naval academy, but decided to transfer to Nassau Community College where he played as a tight end and also practiced basketball. In 1979, he transferred to Duke University where he was a two-year starter at guard.
