Sorry. Recursion disqualified your batter before he got out of the
dugout. Besides the %d restricts it to use wirh integers, and using
"L".lower() as a variable name made the umpire barf through his
facemask all over the catcher. Fortunately the ump didn't notice the
weirdly-spaced and superfluous () in the if statement ...
