Playing career

Alberto Baldovino began his career very young, at 15, in the ranks of the Alianza Frigorífico of the Callao league, hence his nickname El Pibe, which would stay with him throughout his life. In 1935, he joined Sport Boys and became Peruvian champion the same year. After a stint at Universitario de Deportes between 1936 and 1938, he returned to Sport Boys and played there until 1945, winning his second Peruvian championship in 1942.
Between 1946 and 1952, he emigrated to play in Venezuela for Deportivo Español, followed by a spell in Mexico with C.D. Veracruz between 1948 and 1949. It was at this last club that he reunited with his compatriots Rufino Lecca, Leopoldo Quiñónez and Grimaldo González. He continued his career in Venezuela until 1952.
Even though Baldovino never played a match with the Peruvian national team, he was part of the squad that won the South American championship in 1939.
