The Shake
On their way home from a boring college party, African American college students Tracey and Janet come across a terrible scene. Members of a traditionally white fraternity have severely beaten two African American freshmen basketball players. Disturbed and upset by the incident, Tracey discovers that one of the athletes was on a date with a white cheerleader at the party. Was the assault racially motivated? Tracey turns to her friend Terrance, the president of an African American organization on campus, for his help and advice. To her surprise, Terrance discounts her theory and tells her not to bother pursuing action against the fraternity. Tracey refuses to let the act go unpunished. After organizing a student protest to shake things up, she's gratified to see it earn coverage from the local press. But she's suddenly catapulted into the national spotlight when the names of two well-known politicians' sons end up in the headlines of the story. With the increasingly tense situation fast growing out of control, Tracey has to make some hard decisions that may affect not only the athletes but the entire campus.
No Guarantees
No Guarantees is about a young African-American male who tries to overcome everyday stresses and problems while attending college. One of his major problems is that he is in love with a young lady [Shirl] who happens to be one of his best friends, and she happens to have a steady boyfriend. Despite this fact, Horne has finally convinced her to go out on a “real” date with him. The date starts out rocky, but ends with Horne passionately kissing her. He is excited and happy about what happened on the date, however, the events that follow the date do not go as well as he anticipated, and his excitement and happiness turn to uncertainty and disappointment. While Horne is constantly riding an emotional roller coaster with Shirl, he tries to have fun and keep perspective on things by kicking it with his boys: Stevall, a twenty something virgin; Corey, a player who prides himself on being able to juice money out of women; Fred, an always hungry geek who is desperate for love; Tim, a loud talking, skinny, want to be mack daddy. They all keep him on his toes as he discovers that in life and love nothing is guaranteed.

Ordinary club histories proceed year by year to give the big picture. Mets by the Numbers uses jersey numbers to tell the little stories—the ones the fans love—of the team and its players. This is a catalog of the more than 700 Mets who have played since 1962, but it is far from just a list of No. 18s and 41s.
