It's from a line from "Concord Hymn," an 1836 poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson about the men who fought and died at Lexington and Concord as the Revolutionary War began in 1775. In Baseball terms, "the shot heard round the world" refers to Bobby Thomson's dramatic 1951 playoff home run that enabled the New York Giants to win the National League pennant over the Brooklyn Dodgers.
