Posnanski to Join SI.com

By DAVID MARTIN

In the midst of filing multiple columns a day from Beijing, Kansas City Star sports columnist Joe Posnanski announced on his blog that he’s going to start writing a weekly column for SportsIllustrated.com. SI.com will also link to Posnanski’s blog.

Showing his trademark humility, Posnanski says he is thrilled at the prospect of sharing the same pixilated banner as Frank Deford and Gary Smith. “Don’t even ask how that happened,” Posnanski writes on his blog.

Posnanski says he will continue to write for The Star.
