the bigs
Professional baseball's summit
The bigs is informal American English for the major leagues—typically Major League Baseball, but extendable to any top tier of professional sports or competitive endeavor: He spent years in the minors before making it to the bigs.
More broadly, it can mean the highest level of any field: She's ready to play in the bigs now.
