		The Group's headquarters are in Washington, D.C. The World Bank Group is presently headed by president (1995–2005) James D. Wolfensohn, who is president of the IBRD as well as the four affiliated institutions.
		Though repeatedly relied upon by impoverished governments around the world as a contributor of development finance, the World Bank is often and primarily criticised by opponents of corporate "neo-colonial" globalization.
		The World Bank (and its sister organization, the International Monetary Fund) is a closed system; that is, the decision-making processes are shielded from those who, in fact, fund the projects: primarily the taxpayers in the member nations.

	1988 World Series by Baseball Almanac
		In 1988, the World Series Championship was transformed into a "California Classic" as the Los Angeles Dodgers went up against the neighboring Oakland Athletics.
		It was the first time a World Series game had ever been won on a come-from-behind home run in the last inning and the fact that Gibson could hold his stance, let alone swing the bat made the blast even more amazing.
		The controversial closer had been suspended during the championship series for using pine tar in his glove and the last-minute loss did nothing for his fading reputation.

	José Canseco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1987, he was joined on the team by Mark McGwire, who hit 49 home runs that year, and together they became known as the "Bash Brothers." In 1988, Canseco became the first player in major league history to hit at least 40 homers and steal at least 40 bases in the same year.
		In 1989, Canseco was injured most of the year, but he still managed to hit 17 homers as the Athletics won their first World Series since 1974, beating the San Francisco Giants in four games.
		That was the beginning of a series of accusations and run-ins with the law, including a confrontation with teammate Uri Snir, while Canseco was in the public spotlight.

		The Dodgers jumped on NBC sportscaster Bob Costas for calling their Game 4 lineup perhaps the weakest in World Series history, but, truth be told, he was right.
		Even with Gibson, the 1988 edition was not quite up there in the Dodger Blue Pantheon with the '55, '59, '63, '65 or '81 world champions.
		The cartoon image that emerges from this Series is of a herd of stampeding white elephants with bulldogs nipping at their feet.

		OCTOBER 15, 1988 -- The Dodgers, already serious underdogs against the A's and Bash Brothers Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire, are given even less of a chance with injured star Kirk Gibson on the shelf.
		OCTOBER 22, 1987 - The 1987 World Series between the Twins and Cardinals brought a whole new meaning to the term "home-field advantage." It marked the first time that the home team won all of its games in a series.
		OCTOBER 23, 1981 -- The Dodgers and Yankees were meeting for the 11th time in the World Series, with the Yankees having won nine of those series and already holding a two-games-to-none lead as the series headed to Dodger Stadium.

		But in the first game of the Series, Willie Mays made his famous back-to-the-plate catch off Vic Wertz — a deed that had much the same disheartening effect on the Tribe as Gibson's Game 1 homer had on the A's — and the Giants went on to sweep the Indians.
		Even Gibson, who spent much of the Series angling for another at bat, admitted, "Mickey steps in and fills my role, and I filled his." Another theory had the Dodgers kidnapping Jose Canseco and replacing him with his identical twin brother, Ozzie, who hit.222 for the Huntsville (Ala.) Stars of the AA Southern League.
		Hershiser is known as Bulldog, and during the Series, his father, Orel Leonard Hershiser III, distributed stuffed bulldogs and bulldog pins to the other Dodgers.

	BBC SPORT \| SPORTS TALK \| What is your favourite World Series memory?
		I can't recall which game it was of the 1972 series between the Reds and the A's, but Johhy Bench was at the plate, and A's manager Dick Williams goes to the mound with the count 2 and 2 or something, and signals to intentionally walk the batter.
		From a purely aesthetic viewpoint, the '91 Series was awesome, with five of the seven games decided by one run, four won by the home team in its last at-bat, and three decided in extra innings including Twins victories in both Games 6 and 7.
		Well, as a life long NY Met fan, my favourite World Series moment- and I'm sure many other will share this one- is Game 6 of the 1986 Series with the Red Sox when the Mets, just a strike away from losing the whole the whole thing, came back and won the game.

		After closing the regular season with a record-breaking 59 consecutive scoreless innings and then racking up one victory and a save in four National League Championship Series appearances, the Dodgers' Hershiser was the recipient of a well-deserved rest when the World Series got under way at Dodger Stadium on the night of October 15.
		Howell, coming off a fine season but trying to rebound from a rough Championship Series in which he drew a suspension for having a foreign substance (pine tar) in his glove, exacted revenge against McGwire the next night.

		After Orel Hershiser struck out Oakland's Tony Phillips to complete the Dodgers' 4-1 series victory over the Athletics, catcher Rick Dempsey gave the ball to Claire, who spent almost 30 years in the Dodgers' organization and served as the team's GM from 1987-1998.
