Tanner Roark's daughter creates adorable Nationals' lineup card

Tanner Roark's daughter creates adorable Nationals' lineup card

Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day has been a thing for more than two decades now and let’s just say some kids have it a little better than others when it comes to shadowing their parent for a day at the office.

Of course, every experience can be a valuable one for the kids who are able to participate and get a taste of what their parents do each day, but some are just bound to have more fun.

Madison Roark is one of the lucky ones.

Her dad, Tanner, is a starting pitcher for the Washington Nationals and he just happened to be the scheduled starter today for his team’s home game against the Philadelphia Phillies. He decided to bring Madison to work with him and she filled out the lineup card for the team before the game.

Not only does Madison have excellent penmanship, she threw in some personal touches that make this Washington lineup one of the cutest things you will see in baseball all season. She added hearts next to each player’s jersey number, drew a stick figure family next to her dad’s spot in the order and listed her father as "Daddy Roark" batting ninth.

It’s just not going to get much more precious than that.

Tanner Roark has been pitching at a high level to start the season. He struck out 15 batters in his last start against the Twins to earn his second win of the season and followed it up Thursday with another quality start. Madison didn't get to see her dad earn a win. He left the game after pitching seven innings with the score tied 0-0. He struck out six Phillies.
