Guy Bush, the Cubs starting pitcher in the very next game (Game 4), drilled Ruth in the wrist. So yeah, they threw at him.
On his jog down to first base Ruth yelled to Bush if that was his fastball because it felt like a gnat bit him.

By 1932, Ruth had become the King of baseball and throughout the entire year, he was only hit by two pitches. Would they have really thrown at him? Wouldn't that be like throwing at Ohtani?
Nobody ever hit Gretzky regardless of what he was doing, for example.
