Chuck was a three-sport standout and a pioneer of the athletic program at the Steinert High School
of the late 1950s-early 1960s. Giambelluca's leadership skills were evident as he served as captain
of the Spartans' football, basketball and baseball teams. He excelled in basketball, earning all-star
recognition, but it was on the baseball diamond that Giambelluca shone the brightest.
"I enjoyed baseball and basketball probably the most,'' said Giambelluca whose baseball career
continued into the pro ball with a stint with the Milwaukee Braves farm system in Waycross, Ga. He
continued to make his mark on baseball as he managed the successful Broad Street Park team in the
Mercer County American Legion League. His record over a 35-plus year career at the helm was 711-338
and included five league championships, and a state championship in 1975.
