One of the most sought-after items in the auction of old Yankee Stadium items aren't even for sale: Bathroom urinals.

They may have reeked - and even repulsed - but some fans say they are willing to spend big to own what most would think are must-not-have memorabila.

"People always ask for the bathroom stuff, like the urinals," said Brandon Steiner, CEO of Steiner Sports, the exclusive distributor of old Yankee Stadium memorabilia. "There were some strange requests."

Alas, the Baseball Cathedral's cans are not for sale, Steiner said. Pretty much everything else inside the old ballpark is, though.

An auction at the end of July will let fans own the dugout phone, the clubhouse carpet, even the foul poles. About 3,000 participants have registered.

Some items have been on sale for two weeks, and they're doing brisk business. Pieces of live sod that go for $120 and dirt from the famed field priced at $80 will probably sell out in a month.

About 2,000 bricks from Monument Park and a similar number of bleacher benches have been ordered - and plenty of $1,500 pairs of seats are still available.

Joe Pesco, 44, a plumber from New Rochelle, N.Y., had season tickets for 13 years and purchased his pair of seats.

"At least I can put the seats somewhere," he said. "I don't have any place to put a urinal."

Steiner's company must give the city $11.5 million of the proceeds and, when accounting for the high costs of the project, Steiner said it will take some time for him to turn a profit.

Auction items are being added on a weekly basis, including everything from trash cans to turnstiles to virtually every sign posted in the historic Stadium.

That is, except for the most famous one, the "I want to thank the Good Lord for making me a Yankee" banner, which quoted Joe DiMaggio atop a tunnel that led to the home team's dugout.

Derek Jeter swiped that iconic memento, but Steiner hopes he'll sell it one day. "We'll have to talk to the captain about it," he said.
