I played a lot of Diamond Mind 7 back in the DOS days (lost it when my house burned in 2004). Even today, I like to fire up APBA Baseball For Windows and listen to Ernie Harwell call a game while I'm doing something else. No game has come as close to making you feel like you're at the ball park, but gawd, it's expensive. I still play FPS:BB '98 in a W98 virtual machine-- it ain't realistic but it's fun.
OOTP has left them all behind though in every area (realism, customizabilty, features) except graphics, which isn't its focus anyway. For a serious fan, OOTP is really all you need, and it won't break the bank either.
