No. It is not being used as a proper noun-just the typical adjective-noun combination, just the same as "minor leagues". Also, there are other extinct leagues considered to be "major leagues" by baseball historians/statheads besides MLB.

Proper name is Major League Baseball (MLB), but if you are taking about the National League, American League, the Federal League, American Association, etc., individually, then it's not proper, but descriptive major leagues.
