Sean, can't (won't...) recommend one over the other -- they're both evergreens with loyal followings. Both have computer versions as well as the standard boardgame versions, and there are loyal camps for both methods too -- although we will say that we much prefer rolling dice on cardboard to clicking icons on a computer screen. Follow the links at the webpages in our previous post (#7) for more info on what's included, what's needed, and what options are available for each game.
Have to add, too, that they're far from the only tabletop sims out there --
Pursue the Pennant [
http://www.designdepot.com/] is hugely popular and highly regarded,
as is
Replay [
http://www.replaybb.com/],
Sherco's Grand Slam!, and
Baseball Classics [
http://www.playbaseballclassics.com/], among many many others.
Four other games you might want to look into, all officially out of print but kept alive by their own legions of fans, are
Statis Pro Baseball [

All-Star Baseball [

Big League Manager, and the
Sports Illustrated Baseball Game.
