What Taylor Widener liked best were the early mornings. They were quiet and peaceful. The air was crisp. He could see the sun rising over the mountains.
“I enjoy the silence,” Widener said. “I could just go out there and relax.”
Widener is a right-handed pitcher for the Diamondbacks. He made his major-league debut last season and has a chance to make the Opening Day roster this year.
He also is a seasonal greenkeeper at Westin Kierland Golf Club in Scottsdale, a job he has held the past two offseasons. His days would start at 5:30 a.
