Former Kansas City Star sports columnist Joe Posnanski has been recognized as National Sportswriter of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. Posnanski joins a long list of writers for Sports Illustrated to receive the award, including Peter King, Frank Deford, Rick Reilly (11 times) and Steve Rushin.

Posnanski currently is a senior writer for Sports Illustrated. When he first learned of the honor, Posnanski said: “I was competely surprised, and then completely humbled to be suddenly on the same list” as some of the other great SI writers.
