Doc Hyland, a good-natured, husky 60, gets all the St. Louis trade, and a lot of Eastern clients besides. In Baltimore, the man to see is testy, trim Dr. George Bennett, a famed orthopedic surgeon and a rabid baseball fan, like Hyland. Dr. Bennett's most recent patient: Joe DiMaggio, who walked out of Johns Hopkins hospital on crutches last week after having a spur cut from...
