Later Life
Following his playing career, Camilli returned to the Pacific Coast League and managed the Oaks and Sacramento Solons, as well as several other minor league teams, winning a pennant with Spokane in 1948. He later was a scout for the Yankees and California Angels before finishing his baseball career as a spring training instructor for the Angels.
Camilli was inducted into the Dodgers Hall of Fame in 1984, and recalled of his fans: "All they cared about was their family, their job and the Dodgers. And I don't know which one was the most important."
In an article in 1976 in Esquire magazine, sportswriter Harry Stein published an "All Time All-Star Argument Starter," consisting of five ethnic baseball teams. Camilli was the first baseman on Stein's Italian team.
Camilli died in San Mateo, California at age 90.
