This is baseball, not literature, and as with all professions has its own, evolving argot. There are probably more euphemisms for "hitting a home run" than for any two other aspects of the game. "Going yard" has been around for a long time.

The ball is hit out of the "yard" (dome, stadium).

Your hitting the ball out of the "yard" (park, field, stadium, whatever).
