Baseball has had a ton of super old guys sitting in the clubhouse. Maybe tough guys deep down and full of confidence, but not likely physically strong or "athletic".
Don Zimmer comes to mind. Don wasn't scared of anybody...and was perfectly willing to take one...or two...or three....or four, for the team.
....but you'd need 9 or 10 Don Zimmer's to beat up a single Pedro Martinez (not exactly a tough guy in his own right).
