Committee in narrowing the list of names from 21 to 10 in August. Earlier
this year, the Historical Overview Committee of the Baseball Writers'
Association of America, composed of 11 veteran baseball writers and
historians, selected 20 finalists from a list of all eligible players,
those whose careers spanned at least 10 Major League seasons and started
in 1943 or later. Concurrently, a screening committee composed of six Hall
of Famers selected five names for the ballot, and the two lists were merged
for a total of 21 candidates.
这份名单是由身为审查委员的名人堂成员选出，将八月时的21人名单缩减为10人名单。
今年稍早时，由美国棒球作家协会当中的11名资深棒球作家和棒球史学家所组成的
Historical Overview Committee，从有资格的球员当中选出了20位，条件是生涯要有
十年以上，并且是从1943年或之后开始的。同时，由6位名人堂成员组成的审查委员会
也挑了5位，然后两份名单合并成了一份21人名单。
The 11 candidates who did not make the final ballot were pitchers Mike
Cuellar and Mickey Lolich; catcher Thurman Munson; first basemen Steve
Garvey, Ted Kluszewski and Lee May; shortstop Bert Campaneris; third
baseman Ken Boyer; and outfielders Rocky Colavito, Roger Maris and Minnie
Minoso.
被刷掉的11人

or earlier: pitchers Wes Ferrell, Carl Mays, Allie Reynolds and Bucky
Walters; catcher-third baseman Deacon White; first baseman Mickey Vernon;
second baseman Joe Gordon; shortstop Bill Dahlen; outfielder-first baseman
Sherry Magee; and shortstop-third baseman Vern Stephens.

Reynolds和Bucky Walters﹔捕手及三垒手的Deacon White﹔一垒手Mickey Vernon﹔

occurs every five years, next in 2013 for election in 2014. The committee
to consider players whose careers began in 1943 or later will consider
candidates every other year, next in 2010 for 2011 election.
