Regard yourself as a minor leaguer?

There is not necessarily a 100 percent direct correlation between the size of a metropolitan area’s population and the abilities and talents of its residents.

Still, one occasionally hears people in Spokane dismiss certain fellow residents as “minor league,” for one reason or another. Apparently this critique is based on a particular assessment of someone’s limitations or shortcomings.
