You could name your players and teams. You earned money every game to improve player stats over the course of the season. Full season play with multiple teams controlled by players. The ability to fire players and hire new ones. This game needs a rebirth.
Another Baseball Stars fan here, I started out playing the SNK "Professional" version at the arcade and got hooked on the Lovely Ladies as my team (and yes I'm male). I saved up my allowance to get the NES version at Kay-Bee and spent a ton of my summer playing with the Ladies (ok that sounded wrong), keeping stats, etc. I even threw a perfect game with my ace "Lian" on the mound. In fact I still remember the last pitch in the 9th, as my gassed starter gave everything she had. 49 mph, outside...swung on and missed.
On the flip side, Bad News Baseball might be the worst NES baseball title...but I think it's the funniest. The cartoons were a riot!
