Best backwards compatible Xbox baseball game?

So far my experience with Original Xbox games on the Xbox 360 has been great; both NFL 2K5 and NCAA Football 2006 are great games and receive a lot of playing time. I've been less than impressed with baseball games on the Xbox 360, with the only decent baseball experience coming from an arcade game (The Bigs 2). So I was wondering, out of the many backwards compatible games, which would be the best to pick up?

The list:
MLB Slugfest 2003/2004/Loaded 2
MVP Baseball 2003/2004
World Series Baseball 2k3
All-Star Baseball 2003/2005
ESPN Major League Baseball
High-Heat MLB 2004

Out of these, I've only played Slugfest 2003, All-Star 2003 and MVP 2004.

I had, and loved dearly, MVP 2004. Vastly underrated, as I feel it wasn't that much worse than 05. Definitely gets my vote.

hh2004 looks much better than it did on the original xbox, to go along with excellent gameplay.

Gameplay - High Heat 2004

Franchise mode - ASB 2005

...It would be hard for me to recommend MVP 2004 because of the nasty lefty bug and a few other bugs.

ASB 05 would be my pick. Great franchise/expansion mode.

Another vote for the franchise/expansion mode for All Star 2005.
Picked up HH04 last week and I like All Star 2005 better.

I wish we could play MVP05 on the 360.

Another gem- if you can get past the sketchy player graphics..is World Series 2K3 with the ESPN presentation. What I really LOVE about the game is you can play with all fictional players and it has a great GM mode..
