By FRED KERBER collection of debates about how "this guy should have started over so-and-so." And it adds fuel to the fire about why fans should should go to games, cheer or boo, and then go home without ever touching an All-Star ballot AT LEAST THE PITCHERS are picked by the All-Star managers so the staff shouldn't be any problem. Wrong. This year, a rather unique twist developed. National League manager Whitey Herzog of St Louis tabbed nine pitchers for the team. But then NL president Chub Feeney stepped in and told Herzog to include Dodger Fernando Valenzuela.

"If we're tied in the seventh, I'll put Valenzuela in there and we if lose I'll blame it on Chub," Herzog said yesterday. Herzog said he had selected his nine-man staff and then received a phone call from Feeney regarding the inclusion of Valenzuela. "I told him we'd have 10 pitchers because we sat down and went over the others and the nine picked were very fair." Feeney said a questionaire was sent out to all National League managers, excluding Herzog, regarding their selections. All 11 voted for Fernando, who is 8-5 and has the highest ERA on the National League all-Star staff at 3.76. "I think he deserved to be on," Feeney said.

Parrish, at .304, is hitting three points less than Simmons, who has been used largely as a designated hitter this year. And they're fairly close in home runs and RBI, but in each case Parrish has a yery slight edge. Defensively, there is no compari-. son. Parrish is one of the finest throwing catchers in the game.

In last year's Ail-Star bash, Parrish threw out a record three of four base-stealers. "I'm not disappointed at all," Parrish diplomatically told the reporters. "Ted Simmons is the player the people want to see. He's a great hitter, always has been. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to play.

I have more years ahead of "Sure, I'd like to be starting," said the 27-year-old California native. "I feel like I've had a good year and I had a good year last season (his 32 homers were the best ever by an AL catcher). Starting NL catcher Gary Carter of Montreal, however, indicated he would have voted for Simmons, too. Chicago Lance Parrish stood before the press conference gathering and had just one question. "What am I doing here?" asked the Tigers' All-Star catcher, a reserve on the squad.

"I thought this (press conference) was for starting pitchers and starting etchers," Parrish said. "I'm a little puzzled as to why I'm here." And a lot of the reporters were puzzled why Parrish wasn't there for legitimate reasons in the first place. In the fans' All-Star balloting, Parrish finished more than 100,000 votes behind Milwaukee's Ted Simmons. Of course, Simmons or Parrish, Parrish or Simmons is just one more item in a lengthy, All-Star game-old, ft if rfv uA in tlCJ -V 7 Iff -v -T "1 I'll!
