Sadowski returned to the minor leagues in 1964, and played six more years, almost exclusively at the Triple-A level, for several organizations. As a major leaguer, Sadowski batted .222 with 73 hits, including nine doubles, three triples, seven homers and 46 RBI. However, he was a solid .267 hitter in almost 1,400 games played as a minor leaguer. Following his playing career, he spent one season, 1972, as a manager at the Class A level in the Minnesota Twins' farm system for the Charlotte Twins.
Sadowski died in January 2017 at the age of 79.[2]
