	I just bought Hardball II for the Mac.  It keeps track of
statistics extremely well, as well as providing good arcade action.
You can create your own team, start your players with real statistics
that actually *do* affect the players' performance.  You can then
place these teams in a "league," draft players, trade players, etc...
The game maintains stats for each player and updates them every inning
(supposedly, although sometimes it takes a couple innings for it to
recalculate ERA).  The only problem I've had is in the graphics, which
may be caused by a lack of memory (it requires 2 megs, and I haven't
upgraded my si to 5 yet).  Otherwise, it is a good, albeit expensive
game (approx $46).
