Hunts had one fairly recently, but I think it was in their Internet/Phone Auction. If so, it won't be "searchable". Gotta love that user-friendly Hunts website!
But from memory, I think it went for right around $1K. I do still have mine, and it took a very long time to find. The one posted above is only the 4th example I've seen in many years of collecting this stuff. To say that the giant swiveling ear flaps never caught on is probably an understatement by Joe. Maybe Spalding should've marketed it to the Elephant population instead (like those pictured in Bob's Circus Poster).
Regardless, it went the way of the Banana Bat and the Ambidextrous Glove (though not quite as coveted as either). It is definitely baseball, and is actually quite impressive in person.
