Out of Control

Rick Jasper

Carlos 'Trip' Costas is a fiery shortstop with many talents and passions. His father is Julio Costas--yes, the Julio Costas, the famous singer. Unfortunately, Julio is also famous for being loud, controlling, and sometimes violent with Trip. He dreams of seeing his son play in the majors, but that's not what Trip wants. When Trip decides to take a break from baseball to focus on his own music, his father loses his temper. He threatens to stop donating money to the team. Will the Roadrunners survive losing their biggest financial backer and their star shortstop? Will Trip have the courage to follow his dreams, and not his father's?

But when baseball starts becoming more of a chore than a sport to Trip, he asks for a break. When his father, the international superstar Julio Costa, hears that Trip will be sitting out for a few weeks, he threatens the whole team into financial devastation. Trip must decide to live out his father's dream or his own, music.
