Phil Narducci's nephew. Nothing concrete publicly available on if he's a member or not.

It's nothing like it used to be but Philly is probably the most active family outside of NYC.

If you follow Philly the last few years you've heard of this guy, he's a cowboy/trouble maker. He had a beef with Dom Grande a few years ago and like Johnny said he is around Phil Narducci. Some people are saying he's made but you don't go into another members restaurant with a friend get drunk and start beating up waitresses who are related to that member if you're one yourself.

isn't chang his uncle by marriage...or something

FWIW, Scott's latest article says Baldino has fallen out with Narducci and is also shelved/chased from the rest of the mob, so he is now isolated. Does that sound plausible?

Article also has Mike Ciancaglini Jr. as present at the scene and fighting with Baldino.

Narducci and Baldino's problems have been out there for awhile.

Old post from a while back from NJShore4Life with some background info for anyone interested. I'd never paid attention to this Baldino guy before the current incident other than knowing the name. He sounds like a lot of fun, lol.

Phil’s nephew, which is his late sister Susan’s son- Joey Baldino is under Johnny Chang and he owns/operates Philip’s Steaks in South Philly (best cheesesteaks without a doubt in South Philly in my opinion, it’s my go to spot for cheesesteaks in South Philly) . I go there all the time whenever I’m in South Philly and I’ve only seen Joey there once working it, he was standing in the back door entrance with the door open chomping on raw vegetables like a rabbit, staring out to space flexing his muscles on a box of bread lol not jk. It’s open 24/7.

Phil Narducci started the cheesesteak stand in the 1980s before he went away. Eventually His sister Susan had it (heard it’s one of the parts of his beef with his nephew that they squeezed him out of the family businesses) and now her sons have it.

Joey and Johnny Chang got close because Joey grew up next door to Johnny Chang in Packer Park. Joey’s Dad has absolutely nothing to do with the life, straight citizen.

Word is Joey got straightened out (Sponsored by Johnny Chang supposedly), he’s a hot head on steroids with major roid rage.

He’s about around my age (36). He took a pinch as a young buck in his early 20s with his brother in the Borgata bookmaking bust, I think him and his brother worked the wire room back in South Philly if I recall correctly when they were like 21, 22 years old in The Borgata Bookmaking bust.

Joey was also picked up a few years after he got busted in the Borgata bookmaking bust on a second pinch when him and Mikey Emma beat the living piss outta some kids in the Melrose Diner late night after a night out drinking in South Philly, stabbing the kids with forks and bashing their heads in with the metal napkin dispensers.

Heard he does steroids and hes gotten into a few altercations/beefs with his Uncle Phil Narducci and they hate each other now, totally despise each other.

Word on the street is that Joey is also the one that smashed out Dom’s windows that summer and that’s why Dom couldn’t really retaliate at all because Joey is supposedly straightened out and under Johnny Chang. I’m sure it was settled with a sit down, I would bet anything as Dom is not only a Captain but respected and loved by everyone.

Joey’s Mom / Phil’s sister also died recently within the last year and a half of cancer. If you go to Philip’s Steaks in South Philly you will see a big tribute/shrine to her.

Just at first glance, that seems most likely. If he's butting heads with known members like Grande, Narducci, and Ciancaglini, it doesn't seem he's in good standing in any way. And the fact he's hitting cops shows he's just out of control.

Seems like Joey wants his just due and is ready to fight for it

[NJShore4Life]

Joey B has a huge issue with Dom G. and I’ve personally seen him pull something very similar with Dom G. At Philadium Tavern across the street. I know Dom G’s wife is a barmaid at Chickies and Petes, I wonder if Joey was drunk and running his mouth to her as well. Joey B is a major hothead on steroids who is always causing trouble. He seems to be even worse since losing his Mother to cancer but there’s still no excuse to how he acts. His beef with Dom G. is all over a girl too! It’s unbelievable how he acts when he drinks and the steroid use….Sounds like he’s also burned his bridges with Johnny Chang too. I wonder if he made amends with his Uncle Phil? It will be interesting to see how this all plays out but Joey B is just a trouble maker and should just be shelved and chased out of South Philly, have his Brother run the cheesesteak shop and he should just go away, he causes way too much drama and trouble.

Joey B is also the guy who smashed out all of Dom G’s windows at his house in Packer Park several summers ago like a punk while Dom G was away at the shore.
