> Stratomatic baseball is pretty fun.

I'll second that.  We had an annual double-elimination tourney
every year involving all the major league teams.  As 26 teams
doesn't fill a full tournament, we threw in 6 "banjo teams"
drafted from the worst of the previous years' players.  The
"worst" was based purely on BA in each position, and ERA for
pitchers.  Playing a banjo team was more fun than some real teams
and some implausible things happened; the most successful banjo
team of all time was the Mukilteo Fairies who finished 4th,
eliminating the Dodgers and coming within a hairsbreadth of
making it to the final game; Mike "One-ball" Parrott was the
ace of the staff.  Good beer-and-popcorn stuff to last the
winter months.
