When did Joe DiMaggio get a bone spur?

Answer 1

He had a bone spur in his left heel for several painful years, but finally had an operation in the beginning of 1947. He returned for the season, still had pain, but earned the MVP for 1947. The pain continued in 1948.

In 1949, his RIGHT HEEL bone spur pain caused him to miss the first 65 games of the season, but then in late June the pain subsided (for 8 months) Joe played in 3 games against Boston and hit 4 homers in those 3 games, June 28, 29 and 30 to win all 3 games.
