Giancarlo already the life of the party

- — Brian Niemietz

GIANCARLO Stanton is bringing the party to the Big Apple.

When the Yankees announced that Stanton would be teaming up with Aaron Judge, the power duo was immediatel­y compared to Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. The Yankees can only hope Stanton isn’t the next Mantle on the nightlife scene, too.

The 6-6 home run king was the toast of a party in Miami over the weekend, hosted by New York club king Richie Akiva and rapper 2Chains. We’re told that Akiva excitedly introduced the newest Yankee to a cheering crowd at a pop-up version of his 1Oak nightclub in Chelsea.

“I want to welcome Giancarlo Stanton of the Yankees,” Akiva announced over the club’s booming audio system. “He was just traded today from Miami to N.Y.C!”

Stanton’s posed for photos as he was handed a bottle of Ace of Spades champagne.

Akiva’s nightlife credits also include Up & Down on W. 14th St. and Butter in Midtown.
