Baseball Games I Have Known And Loved

I have always loved baseball games, as in table-top games, etc. I never really got to play in any leagues or anything but always enjoyed the managing aspect, as opposed to the general manager aspect of Rotisserie Baseball.
You'll find here some interesting articles about baseball simulations, especially table-top games, lists of known modern-day games, links to game companies still in business, etc.

I finally scanned some pictures I took and have added picture links to a lot of the games, so you can see what they look like. The pictures aren't great. I took them before I got my digital camera and most of them I no longer have. If anyone has better pictures or pictures I'm missing, please send them to me.
The games in bold are ones that I currently have.
Note: Seasons Available are based on seasons I have, old ads that I have, and some guesswork. Any more authoritative information is appreciated.

Big Bucks Baseball - Kitchen Table Games: Interesting combination of Monopoly and table-top baseball
Big League Baseball - 3M
Championship Baseball - Todd Lansing
Houston Astros Baseball Challenge Game
Instant Action Baseball - Arend Imagineering: One of the most intriguing I ever found. Includes a stadium, with the field marked off in squares. Fielders could move so many squares per time click. The ball was marked off in time clicks on the field, depending on where it was hit, a fielder might or might not get to it, etc. Used playing cards to determine hits and no individual players per se, but had it been combined with Strat-O-Matic type info, would've been dynamite!
