Out of the park

GONE

Think of a baseball term that describes a hit so powerful the ball isn’t just in play—it’s completely vanished from the field.

"Out of the park" is a baseball term for a home run, where the ball is hit so far it leaves the field. But here, the clue plays on the phrase’s literal meaning—if something is out of the park, it’s no longer there, so it’s "gone." The answer drops the baseball context and focuses on the straightforward word "gone" to fit the puzzle’s clever twist.
