Diehard Reds fans who want a piece of the action — literally — will have a chance to buy pieces of Cinergy Field today as part of a seven-hour sale by the company contracted to tear down the ballpark.

        The sale starts at 8 a.m. at O'Rourke Wrecking Co., 660 Lunkenpark Drive in Linwood. It includes bits of Astroturf, along with outfield seats.

        Demolition of the Reds' second home began in August to make way for a new ballfield.

        O'Rourke, contracted by Hamilton County for the removal of 14,000 outfield seats and the stadium's demolition after the 2002 season, plans to eventually sell all memorabilia.

        “When we go back and demolish the balance of the stadium, we'll try to market (sections of) the turf, the dugouts — anything we can sell,” Mike O'Rourke, president of O'Rourke has said. “We'll take an inventory of everything that might have value.”

        Collectors estimate a former Cinergy seat would be worth about $100 to $200.

        For more information on the sale, call 871-1400 or go to O'Rourke's Web site at www.orourkewrecking.com.
