Mr. DeGiorgi was a physical education teacher and coach at Arlington's Swanson Junior High, now a middle school, and at Washington-Lee High School. He became athletic director at JEB Stuart High School in Fairfax County and then was assistant principal at Falls Church High School, Chantilly High School and Thomas Jefferson High School in Alexandria until his retirement in 1986.
A native Washingtonian and a star schoolboy athlete, Mr. DeGiorgi was inducted into the Boys Club of Washington (Eastern Branch) Hall of Fame when he was 14 years old. He earned letters in three sports at Eastern High School.
He played on The Washington Post's all-star sandlot baseball team that beat a Brooklyn team 12-2 on July 13, 1948, and, according to a sports headline in The Post, scouts were "in a dither" over him.
"Catcher DeGiorgi was swamped by Brooklyn Dodger scouts after he led the District team to victory," the Post reported. "The scouts got an eyeful of dark-complexioned Sal as he easily threw out two would-be base-stealers in the first two innings then barely missed hitting a home run in the fourth. He got a double on the blow which hit the top of the left field wall, 343 feet from the plate. When Sal told the scouts he planned a college education before turning to pro ball, they promised to get him into any institution he wanted. He could have had the Brooklyn Bridge had he asked for it."
He won a four-year baseball scholarship to Seton Hall University in New Jersey, graduated, served in the Army and received a master's degree in education from George Washington University in 1957.
Upon retirement, he moved to Naples, Fla., where he enjoyed tennis, golf, fishing and attending spring training baseball games. He volunteered as a tennis teacher with the Special Olympics there.
His marriage to Marie Marmo ended in divorce.
Survivors include his wife, Anne DeGiorgi of Tampa; four children from his first marriage, Gina DeGiorgi of Tampa, Christine DeGiorgi of Centreville, Paul DeGiorgi of Marysville, Wash., and John DeGiorgi of Roswell, Ga.; a sister, Gussie Carey of King George, Va.; and five grandchildren.
