James "Slick" Stocks totaled an amazing 11 letters in six different sports at Pasadena Junior College as the school's earliest African-American athlete of note. Stocks was a member of either a conference or state championship team in football, basketball, track and field, baseball, tennis, and golf. Slick was considered one of the state's best tennis players and played in a number of tournaments. He was a member of the inaugural PCC Sports Hall of Fame class in 1961 and was later immortalized in 2006 with a bronze bust in his image in the Dick Ratliff Court of Champions.
