The University of Memphis Global is offering a complimentary self-paced course about baseball. I don't see anything about credits for the course, but who knows these days:

It would seem the college credit version is called "UNIV 3542 Baseball in America" and is a paid course. It falls in the "thematic courses" in the U of M catalog within the College of Professional and Liberal Studies
