Stratomatic baseball is pretty fun.  I used to play it about
eight or nine years ago with a few friends who were as hard
core as I was (for a while anyway).  It would have been really
fun with more players though; but with four people, the all-star
teams that we picked were pretty awesome.  The best parts of the
game is 1) The Draft, 2) A few loosen up games (akin to spring
training), 3) Trades (get rid of bad performers in 2).), and 
4) Keeping statistics of your team (aren't all baseball fans
crazy about stats?).
A fault with this game is
that, one can pull "fast ones"; that is, players that only had
100 at bats could be played regularly -- but we took this into
account as Scouting, whoever ordered the set of cards would
browse thru them before the others had a chance.  It kept us
pale and flabby thru several winters, as if we didn't stay indoors
enough already.
