For the City Section, they selected an all-star team that includes Brian Harper (San Pedro) at catcher, pitchers Don Drysdale (Van Nuys), Bret Saberhagen (Cleveland) and Larry Sherry (Fairfax), first baseman Eddie Murray (Locke), infielders Bobby Doerr (Fremont), Ozzie Smith (Locke), Robin Yount (Taft) and outfielders Eric Davis (Fremont), Willie Davis (Roosevelt) and Darryl Strawberry (Crenshaw), with designated hitter Ryan Braun (Granada Hills) and closer Rodney Beck (Grant).

The manager is Sparky Anderson (Dorsey).
