Keynan Middleton typically is quiet and reserved, preferring to spend his free time with his daughters Kamrynn, Karter and Kollynz. But he has found himself moved by injustice and his children to talk a little more.As the Chicago White Sox reliever sat in the home dugout at Guaranteed Rate Field last month, Middleton stared into the distance at the sun reflecting on the field.
