Baldock was an immediate success in the interstate arena, representing Tasmania for the first time in 1957 and performing with distinction in the 1958 and 1961 carnivals, the latter as captain.
Appointed captain-coach of TFL club New Norfolk in 1974 Baldock was forced to resign after just 4 games when, having earlier in the year been elected as the Labor member for Wilmot in the Tasmanian parliament, he was appointed Minister for Housing and Social Welfare.
Baldock's status as one of the greatest Tasmanian footballers of all time was reinforced in 2004 with his selection as captain of that state's official 'Team of the Century'.
